The line graphed on the coordinate grid below shows the relationship between the number of electronic devices produced by a factory and the total value of the devices.

Question

The graph shows a line passing through (0, 0) and (5, 40).

Based on the graph, what is the value of each electronic device?

A.
$80.00

B.
$125.00

C.
$8.00

D.
$12.50

Answer 1

To determine the value of each electronic device based on the points provided on the graph, we first note the points given: (0, 0) and (5, 40). Here, the x-coordinate represents the number of devices produced, and the y-coordinate represents the total value of those devices.

From the point (5, 40):

• 5 devices yield a total value of $40.

To find the value of each device, we can divide the total value by the number of devices: \[ \text{Value per device} = \frac{\text{Total value}}{\text{Number of devices}} = \frac{40}{5} = 8 \]

Thus, the value of each electronic device is $8.00.

The correct answer is C. $8.00.
