GPT 3.5
Let's define the weight as x (in pounds) and the cost as y (in dollars).
According to the given information, for 2 1/2 pounds of roast beef, you got paid $10.
We can set up a proportion to find the cost per pound:
2.5 pounds / $10 = x pounds / y dollars
Simplifying the proportion:
2.5 / 10 = x / y
0.25 = x / y
To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides by y:
0.25y = x
Rearranging the equation, we get:
x = 0.25y
This is the equation for the graph of the proportional relationship between the weight and cost of deli meat at the deadly calendar in the supermarket.
