1. The amount paid for different weights of oranges at a farmer’s market are shown below. Oranges (lb) Price ($) 2 3 3 4.50 5 7.50 ? 12 (a) Is the relationship between the price and the weight of the oranges proportional? Use the first three rows of data to answer this question. Show your work and explain. How many pounds of oranges cost $12? Show your work. due today.

Relationship is proportional ;

8 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Oranges (lb) 2 ___ 3 5 ___?

Price ($) __ 3 ___4.50___7.50_12

For proportionality :

Oranges = k * price

Where, k = constant of proportionality

2 = 3k

k = 2 /3

k = 0.666666

Using k :

Number of oranges at price = 4.50 should be:

0.66666 * 4.50 = 3

Number of oranges at price = 7.50 should be:

0.66666 * 7.50 = 5

Hence, relationship is proportional

Number of oranges at $12

0.66666 * 12 = 8

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be =.

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

.

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be =.

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be
