A linear graph of the cost of broccoli in dollars per pound has the points (3,8.25)

Question

and (6,16.50)
. What is the rate of change in the purchase price in dollars per pound?(

Answer 1

The rate of change in the purchase price in dollars per pound can be found by calculating the slope of the line passing through the two points.

Slope = (16.50 - 8.25) / (6 - 3)
Slope = 8.25 / 3
Slope = 2.75

Therefore, the rate of change in the purchase price in dollars per pound is $2.75 per pound.
