Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

(a)  the cost of the fruit in $ per lb = slope of the line

For strawberries consider the point at the end of the ' strawberry' Arrow. This corresponds to

a cost of $10 ( the height of the vertical axis) and a weight of the strawberries ( the corresponding point on x axis)

so the lope  is  10/5 = 2   That is $2 per lb of strawberries

Cost = 2w  where   w = weight of strawberries in pounds

(b) in the same  way cost of each lb of  blueberries = 10/7 =  $ 1.43

cost =   10w/7    where w = weight of blueberries in lbs.

c)    blueberries are cheaper ( $1.43 / lb against  %2 per lb for strawberries)
