Answer 1

Given:

The graph shows the relationship between the number of pounds of  apples purchased and the total cost of the apples.

To find:

The cost of 1 pound of apples.

Solution:

We need to find the slope of the line to get the cost of 1 pound of apples.

From the given graph it is clear that the line passes through two points (0,0) and (2,3). So, the slope of the line is

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\dfrac{3-0}{2-0}$

$m=\dfrac{3}{2}$

$m=1.5$

Therefore, the cost of 1 pound of apples is $1.5.
