Answer:

The slope of the line would be
\$0.89\ per\ avocado

Explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
k=(y)/(x) or
y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

Let

x ----> the number of avocados

y ---> is the cost

In this problem we have a proportional relationship between the variables, x, and y,

The constant of proportionality k is equal to


k=\$0.89\ per\ avocado

so

The linear equation is


y=0.89x

The slope of the line is equal to the constant of proportionality k or unit rate

therefore

The slope of the line would be
\$0.89\ per\ avocado
