Question

Pls hurry.

Jake sells planter boxes at the local flea market. The table shows the amount of money Jake is paid for different numbers of plant boxes that he sells. Determine the missing values in the table. What is the slope (unit rate) represented by this scenario?

Answer 1

1.5

5

12

m = 1.5

Explanation:

There are 2 complete lines in the table:

2 planters for $4.50

9 planters for $13.50

For both of the complete lines in the table, divide the money by the number of planters.

$4.50/3 = $1.50/planter

$13.50/9 = $1.50/planter

From these two lines, we know that the price of each planter is $1.50.

Also, the unit rate of the planters is the slope, so the slope is 1.5

If you have the number of planters, multiply it by 1.5 to get the amount of money.

If you have the amount of money, divide it by 1.5 to get the number of planters.

Here is the completed table:

1 1.50

3 4.50

5 7.50

8 12.00

9 13.50
