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, we can use the coordinates of the two points on the line: (0, 0) and (5, 40).

The first point (0, 0) indicates that when no devices are produced, the total value is $0. The second point (5, 40) indicates that when 5 devices are produced, the total value is $40.

To find the value of each device, we can calculate the value per device by dividing the total value by the number of devices produced:

\[ \text{Value per device} = \frac{\text{Total Value}}{\text{Number of devices}} = \frac{40}{5} = 8 \]

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

The correct answer is:

C. $8.00
