Question

can sombody show work for this question "select the graph that correctly repesents the cost ,y, in dollars,to buy x grapefruit that cost 1.50 each

Answer 1

y = 1.50x

the graph is shown below

Explanation:

We are told that y is equal to the total cost of the amount of grapefruit purchased. The amount of grapefruit is represented by x. The price of $1.50 would be our rate or slope for the graph.

With this information, we can create the expression:

y = 1.50x

To find the graph you need, either type it in a graphing calculator, or put in your choice of "x" values to find different coordinate that would be on the graph.

For example:

y = 1.50(2)

y = 3

Coordinate 1 would be (2,3)

y = 1.50(0)

y = 0

Coordinate 2 would be (0,0)

With these two coordinates you can draw a line and match your graph with the right one you need for the answer.
