Question

Please help me with this both for 25 points

Answer 1

A 20

B The constant is $4/ square ft

Explanation:

We can find the slope of the cooking time versus weight by

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (50-30)/( 2.5-1.5)

= 20/1

The constant is the slope which is 20

For the second problem, we also need to find the slope

We have points, (0,0) and (250,1000)

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 1000-0)/(250-0)

1000/250

4

The constant is $4/ square ft
