I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let's re-evaluate the answers for accuracy:
(a) According to the graph, the cost of buying no cheese is approximately 10 cents (at the nearest point to 0 ounce on the graph).
(b) The graph shows that the cost of buying 1 ounce of cheese is approximately 22 cents.
(c) From the graph, we can see that for every additional ounce of cheese, the cost increases by approximately 11 cents.
(d) No, the amounts given in parts (b) and (c) are not equal because the cost of buying 1 ounce of cheese (22 cents) is different from the increase in cost for each ounce (11 cents). Therefore, the best answer is "No, because the line does not pass through 0,0."
