To determine how many calories are in 1 ounce of soda based on the provided points, we can look at the coordinates given, especially the first two:
- (0, 0) indicates that at 0 ounces, there are 0 calories.
- (3, 36) indicates that at 3 ounces, there are 36 calories.
To find the number of calories per ounce, we calculate the slope of the line or find the rate of change between these two points.
For the points (3, 36):
- Calculate calories per ounce: \[ \frac{36 \text{ calories}}{3 \text{ ounces}} = 12 \text{ calories per ounce} \]
This result checks out with the other given points:
- At 6 ounces: \(6 \times 12 = 72\) calories
- At 9 ounces: \(9 \times 12 = 108\) calories
- At 12 ounces: \(12 \times 12 = 144\) calories
Thus, the number of calories in 1 ounce of soda is:
12 calories.
