Answer:
The slope of the line would be [tex]\$0.89\ per\ avocado[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]k=\frac{y}{x}[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
Let
x ----> the number of avocados
y ---> is the cost
In this problem we have a proportional relationship between the variables, x, and y,
The constant of proportionality k is equal to
[tex]k=\$0.89\ per\ avocado[/tex]
so
The linear equation is
[tex]y=0.89x[/tex]
The slope of the line is equal to the constant of proportionality k or unit rate
therefore
The slope of the line would be [tex]\$0.89\ per\ avocado[/tex]
