Jolene is making a line graph showing that the cost of grain is proportional to the number of pounds purchased. Jolene will plot the number of pounds on the x-axis and the cost in dollars on the y-axis. The coordinates Jolene graphs are shown in the table. Which coordinate represents the unit rate, in dollars per pound of grain, and why?
Pounds Cost (in dollars)
1.0 0.25
4.0 1.00

a.

b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The data in the table

Solving (a): The coordinate that represents the unit rate

The unit rate is when its 1 pound

This is so because the unit rate is dollars per pounds.

Hence, the coordinate is

Solving (b): Equation of the graph

First, we calculate the slope (m)

Where:

The equation is then calculated as thus:

This gives:

Make y the subject

Hence, the equation of the graph is:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.
