Answer:
1). Cinnamon costs $7 per one pound
2). Price per pound of the cinnamon equals $[tex]\frac{5.25}{0.75}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
x-values on the graph define the weight of cinnamon and y-values define the price.
Slope of the line drawn from the origin (0, 0) and (0.75, 5.25) will determine the per lb price of the cinnamon.
Slope of a line passing through two points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] will be,
Slope = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
If the points on the given line re (0,0) and (0.75, 5.25),
Slope = [tex]\frac{5.25-0}{0.75-0}[/tex]
= 7
Therefore, two options are the correct options.
1). Cinnamon costs $7 per one pound
2). Price per pound of the cinnamon equals $[tex]\frac{5.25}{0.75}[/tex].
