What exactly is this problem wanting you to do?

Answer 6

on second

Answer 7

okay

Answer 8

It wants me to answer if it greater then less then or equal to

Answer 9

oh okay! So look at the slopes.

If a slope is steeper, what does that mean?

Answer 10

less

Answer 11

Not quite.

First of all, can you tell me which slope is steeper?

Answer 12

@queenbb

Answer 13

uhh i dont know

Answer 14

Do you see how cherries is above apples?
This makes it more steep

Answer 15

When a slope is more steep, that means it is increasing at a faster rate.

Answer 16

Does this make sense to you so far? If it does, try filling in the blanks.

If not, I will explain further

Answer 17

explain

Answer 18

plzz

Answer 19

Okay. So if you want to analyze a graph, we could look at \(\Large\frac{rise}{run}\)

Answer 20

ok

Answer 21

What i said was this:
for every two pounds of apples, the cost increases by 1.
for every one pound of cherries, the cost increases by 1.

You can find this by seeing where the lines intersect

Answer 28

Can you see that?

Answer 29

so whats the answer

Answer 30

Answer 31

but if something is steeper, that means it's going to be greater.

Answer 32

Answer 33

the cost of apples per pound is greater than the cost of cherries per pound.

Answer 34
