Question

The average price of a certain type of coffee worldwide was $0.51 per pound in 2008. The
average price per pound increased about $0.18 each year until 2014, and is expected to do so
for the next two years. Which of the following graphs represents the relationship between years
after 2008, t, and price per pound, P, in dollars, of this coffee worldwide?

Answer 1

Answer:

The graph is attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph that will represent the relationship between t years after 2008, and  the price P per pound will have some characteristics that we can identify.

In 2008, i.e at t= 0, P = 0.51; this means the y-intercept is 0.51.

The coffee price is increasing by 0.18 every year; the slope is 0.18.

Thus we have the equation

$P =0.18t+0.51$

the graph of which is attached.
