Q. 24. A loaf of bread costs $2.50 and appler cosest $1.29 per pound. Write a linear function to represent the price of a loaf of bread and some apples. Graph the function on a separate sheet of paper. How much will you pay if you buy 3 pounds of apples? =5x. What do youbout the relationship
Define variables: Define the variables for the linear function. Let x represent the number of pounds of apples.
Write linear function: Write the linear function. The cost of a loaf of bread is constant at $2.50, so that's the y-intercept. The cost of apples is $1.29 per pound, so that's the slope. The function is y=1.29x+2.50.
Substitute x with 3: To find the cost for 3 pounds of apples, substitute x with 3 in the function. y=1.29(3)+2.50.
Calculate cost for 3 pounds: Calculate the cost for 3 pounds of apples. y=3.87+2.50.
Add costs of apples and bread: Add the cost of the apples to the cost of the bread. y=3.87+2.50=6.37.
