This graph shows the cost of buying dried fruit. what is the slope of the line and what does it mean in this situation? select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete each statement. the slope of the line is this means that every of dried fruit costs $

the correct answer is =

The slope of the line is 3.5

This means that every pound

of dried fruit cost $3.50

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
