Answer:

A, D

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost ($) = C

lbs (Blueberries) = W

One pound of blueberries costs $2.75 because to find how much 1 lb is you need to divide by 6.

6 is the number of pounds at that point in the graph, so you divide both the pounds and cost by 6 to find how much 1 lb is.

To find how much 5 lbs costs, multiply both the cost and number of pounds ($2.75 to 1 lb) by 5.

2.75 * 5 is 13.75 (This means C is wrong)

Do the same but with 12 for D

2.75 * 12 is 33, so D is correct

You could do the same method as above for E, but the easier way to do this is to see that the relationship of 3:9 is equal to a 1:3 ratio, which is the same as what the pounds to cost ratio is (which is 1:2.75)

Hope this helps! ^_^

A linear graph is represented by a straight line

The true options are:

  • A. 1 pound of blueberries cost $2.75
  • D. 12 pounds of blueberries cost $33

The points on the graph are:

[tex]\mathbf{(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{(x_2,y_2) = (6,16.50)}[/tex]

The slope (m) of the graph is:

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{16.50 - 0}{6-0}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{16.50}{6}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = 2.75}[/tex]

The above means that: 1 pound of blueberries costs $2.75

Hence, (a) is true, and (b) is false

Multiply 2.75 by 5, to get the cost of 5 blueberries

[tex]\mathbf{C(5) = 2.75 \times 5=13.75}[/tex]

This means that: (c) is false

Multiply 2.75 by 12, to get the cost of 12 blueberries

[tex]\mathbf{C(12) = 2.75 \times 12=33}[/tex]

This means that: (d) is true

(e) is false, because:

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{9}{3} \ne 2.75}[/tex]

Hence, the true options are: (a) and (d)
