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.

Which of these graphs shows a lower unit cost, 1 or 2?

Answer 1

I'm unable to view images, but I can help you understand how to determine which graph indicates a lower unit cost.

To assess the unit cost from a graph, you typically look for the slope of the line (if it's linear) or the overall trend in the graph if it's not linear. The lower the slope of the line representing cost versus quantity, the lower the unit cost.

1. If one graph shows a line that is closer to horizontal (indicating that as you increase the quantity, the total cost increases at a slower rate), that graph would represent a lower unit cost.

2. If there is a numerical value or labeled coordinates, you can also calculate unit cost by identifying how much cost changes in relation to changes in quantity.

In conclusion, compare the slopes and overall trends in both graphs to determine which one has a lower unit cost. If you can describe the graphs or provide specific details, I can offer more targeted assistance!
