The graph shows the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year. The table shows the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at the same store in the previous year.

A graph shows Number of Bushels on x-axis and Price of Corn in dollars on y-axis. The x-axis scale is shown from 0 to 14 at increments of 2, and the y-axis scale is shown from 0 to 98 at increments of 14. A straight line joins the ordered pairs 2, 14 and 4, 28 and 6, 42 and 8, 56 and 10, 70 and 12, 84.

Answer:

Part A:    We know that 3 bushels is $24, and that rate remains constant, as the graph has a straight line.

Divide both sides by 3 to get 1 bushel=$8.

We can also double check with the other values: 48/6=$8 per bushel, 72/9=$8 per bushel, and so on.

The rate of change is the slope of a line (how much one value changes when the other value does). In this equation, the equation of the line is y=8x, so the slope is 8. Therefore, the rate of change is 8.

Part B:  In the previous year, each bushel of corn was 21/3, 42/6, etc., or $7 a bushel. This year, it is $8, so $8-$7=$1
