Answer 1

@darkknight

Answer 2

Is there a graph that u need to post associated with the problem?

Answer 3

was that a direct answer?

Answer 4

u plagarized that

Answer 5

yes but i put the person's name at the bottom and is was from questioncove

Answer 6

Anyways, I can help you, just bear with me

Answer 7

It dont even show a graph so thats why im confused

Answer 8

its 4 dollars for 5 pounds. divide 5 by 5 and you get one pound. do the same thing with the other side and divide 4 by 5. you get .8 dollars (80cents) is how much 1 pund of potatoes cost

Answer 9

would that be right @darkknight ?

Answer 10

This is a proportional relationship. so it is linear with a y-intercept of 0..
So the slope is 5/4, comparing the pounds to potatoes
So basically the equation is
y=5/4x
Now to find the price of 1 pound, we plug in 1 for x
So y = (5/4)(1) where y is the price, so what is y?

Part 2: The ordered pair (10,8), think about what this means, x is the pounds and y is the cost
So for ___ pounds of potatoes, it costs ____ dollars...

for the first one? and i was guessing on the second

Answer 13

Wait a mnute... disregard what I said before for the first one.

Basically its 5 pounds to 4 dollars,
So divide 5 by 5 (to find price for one pound) and 4 by 5 (to find price for one pound, we just divided both sides of the eqn by 4)

Answer 14

So YNw melly u were correct for the first one
