i need help
What is the question?
The graph shows the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year. The table shows the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at the same store for the previous year. A graph shows Number of Bushels on x-axis and Price of Corn in dollars on y-axis. The x-axis scale is shown from 0 to 14 at increments of 2, and the y-axis scale is shown from 0 to 98 at increments of 14. A straight line joins the ordered pairs 2, 14 and 4, 28 and 6, 42 and 8, 56 and 10, 70 and 12, 84. Previous Year Number of Bushels Price of Corn (dollars) 2 10 4 20 6 30 8 40 Part A: Describe in words how you can find the rate of change of a bushel of corn in the current year, and find the value. (5 points) Part B: How many dollars more is the price of a bushel of corn in the current year than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year? Show your work. (5 points)
it's extra credit work because i failed it :C
can u help a llama out?
@Dani_Rose
For part A all you need to do is find the slope
owe okay
can u help guide me i never been to great with graphs
To find the slope you don't need a graph. You are given coordinates that you can use.
i know what the equations suppose to look like y = mx + b
im just not sure what to do
sorry for my supidity
The formula for slope is \[\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }=slope\]
owe never knew that
Pick two of the point given to you and plug it into the equation
ok 2,10 and 4,20
Okay now we have (2,10) and (4,20) Plug that into the equation to get\[\frac{ 20-10 }{ 4-2 }\] Simplify to get\[\frac{ 10 }{ 2 }\] 2 goes into 10 exactly 5 times so the slope would be 5
thanks
what about part B?
