Answer:

The correct answer is 14 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

When you look at the graph you can count the grid squares. In one day Joe drinks 2 liters of milk. So 7 times 2 is 14. That is your answer

Let me know if I did anything wrong. :)

Answer: 14 liters

====================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a vertical line up from x = 7 until you reach the diagonal red line. Mark point P at this location. Then from point P, move horizontally until you reach the y axis. You should get to y = 14.

See the diagram below.

The equation of this red line is y = 2x. Whatever the input x is, we double it to get y. So if x = 7, then y = 2x = 2*7 = 14

This means that Joe drinks 14 liters of milk in 7 days. Or you could say his rate is 14 liters per week.
