Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements to match the information shown by the graph.
Produce per pound costs less than meat per pound because the slope of the graph for meat is greater than that of the graph for produce.
The slope of the graph tells you the unit rate in pounds per dollar.
To determine the correct statements to complete your sentence regarding the graph, consider the following:
1. If the slope for meat is greater, it means that for each dollar spent, you get fewer pounds of meat compared to produce.
2. This indicates that the cost of meat per pound is higher than the cost of produce per pound.
So, you could say:
“Produce per pound costs less than meat per pound because the slope of the graph for meat is greater than that of the graph for produce.”
The slope indeed represents the unit rate, showing that as the slope increases, the cost per pound increases for that item.
