Question

Francisco sold 9 rolls of wrapping paper for a band fundraiser earning the band $22.50. Sharon sold 16 rolls of wrapping paper and earned $40.00 for the band. If this relationship is graphed with the number of rolls sold on the x-axis and the money earned on the y-axis, what is the slope of the graph in dollars per roll?

A. 1.25
B. 2.50
C. 3.75
D. 5.00

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

If the relationship is graphed with the number of rolls sold on the x-axis and the money earned on the y-axis

Then the two points on that line will be (14,17.50) and (16,20)

We know that the slope of a lien with points is give by:-

Hence, the slope of the graph with points (14,17.50) and (16,20) is given by :-

Therefore, the slope of the graph = 1.25 dollars per roll.
