Answer 1

Part A: 7 dollars

- The graph shows that 2 bushels is 14 dollars, because the graph has a straight line, the rate remains constant you must divide the sides by two to find the amount for one bushel which would be 7 dollars.

- And to double check you would divide 28 by 4, 42 by 6, 56 by 8, 70 by 10, 84 by 11, and 98 by 12. they all equals 7 dollars So, the equation would be y = 7x.

- 7 can be known as the slope and rate of change.

Part B:2 dollars

- The years before show 2 bushes was 10 dollars

-so you would divide 10 by two you would get five To double check you would do the same thing with 20 by 4, 30 by 6 and 40 by 8, and they all equal 5 dollars.

-if you use this answer be sure to reword it so you dont get copy write and integrity. have a great day or night.

Answer 2

PART A:

To find the rate of change, put change in y over change in x. In order to first find the changes, you must subtract two y values from each other and two x values from each other, like this:

Change in y = 20-10

Change in x = 4-2

Then you can put these over each other:

20-10/4-2

Then simplify

20-10/4-2 = 10/2 = 5/1 = 5

So, this means the rate of change is 5. $5 per bushel.

If you also need part B it would be helpful to see the other chart because it's hard to understand in the writing you included. :) Comment and let me know if you post it so I can help you out!
