Question

A you-pick blueberry farm offers 6 lbs of blueberries for $16.50. Sketch a graph of the relationship between cost and pounds of blueberries. The slope of the line is?

Answer 1

the slope is

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

so, we need other point to calculate it

$(0,0)$

so, we have

$(0,0),(6,16.50)$$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{16.50-0}{6-0} \\ m=\frac{16.50}{6} \\ m=\frac{11}{4}\approx2.75 \end{gathered}$

the slope is 11/4
