Answer 2

i think its B

Answer 3

do they show the scatter plot ? what are the labels on the x-axis and on the y-axis?

Answer 4

Thats all the information i have

Answer 5

I thinks its A or B

Answer 6

we need to know which is the "x" and which is the y

Answer 7

Well i think number of portions is the x and the calories is y

Answer 8

ok,

we (should!) know that slope is change in y divided by change in x

so we expect slope to match up with calories per portion (i.e y/x) , right?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

which answer sounds like calories per portion ?

Answer 11

A

Answer 12

But can you help me with two more questions on my study guide i would greatly appreciate it.

Answer 13

yes, choice A (if we simplify all the words) boils down to calories per each portion

Answer 14
