Answer:
a) The rate of change is 3.5
b) The rate of change represents the price of a single cookie. $3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) To determine the rate of change along the graph, select a pair on the graph as;
(2,7) and (8,28)
Rate of change, m= change in y/change in x
m=28-7/8-2 = 21/6 =7/2 = 3.5
b)
The equation of the relationship can be written as;
y=3.5 x + 0 where y is the amount collected and x is the number of cookies sold.
The slope here represents the price per cookie in $, $3.5
