Question

What is the slope of the graph in dollars per can

Answer 1

The slope can be calculated using the following equation:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

We know that if you buy 6 cans, x = 6, it will cost $3.00, y = 3.

We also know that if we buy zero cans, x = 0, it will cost nothing, y = 0.

So we have the points (0, 0) and (6, 3), so:

`m=(3-0)/(6-0)=(3)/(6)=(1)/(2)`

So, the slope is 1/2, fourth alternative.
