Respuesta :

now, you should learn to interpret that graph... first things first : since 3 pounds of O.Apples for $ 7.5 ~ it means the rate is $ 2.5/pound from the graph, we can see that, at 1 on the "pounds" axis (generally, the x-axis), the corresponding number on the $ axis (generally the y-axis) is 2... hence it is $2/pound.. so the rates are $ 2.5/pound (OA), and $2/pound (A)

The unit rate for each type of apple is required.

The correct option is organic $2.50/pound; regular $2.00/pound

Slope

Cost of 3 pounds of organic apples is $7.5

[tex]1\ \text{pound of organic apple}=\dfrac{7.5}{3}=\$2.5[/tex]

The two points of the graph are

[tex](0,0)[/tex] and [tex](1,2)[/tex]

The slope of the graph will give us the cost of regular apples

[tex]m=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{2}{1}\\\Rightarrow m=2[/tex]
