Question

An illustration shows quadrant one of a coordinate plane where the x-axis and y-axis range from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The y-axis is titled total cost in dollars and the x-axis is titled number of markers. A line is marked on the graph, passing through coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 4 comma 3 right parenthesis.

What is the unit cost from the graph?(1 point)$__ per marker

Answer 1

To find the unit cost from the graph, we can use the coordinates given. The line passes through the points (0, 0) and (4, 3).

The coordinates represent the following:

• (0, 0) means that when 0 markers are purchased, the total cost is $0.
• (4, 3) means that when 4 markers are purchased, the total cost is $3.

To find the unit cost per marker, we can calculate it using the formula:

\[ \text{Unit cost} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of markers}} \]

Substituting the values from the point (4, 3):

\[ \text{Unit cost} = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75 \]

The unit cost per marker is $0.75.

So, the answer is:

$0.75 per marker.
