Question

representing relationships
the graph shows the relationship between the number of strawberries eaten
and the approximate number of calories consumed. which statement is true?
four strawberries contain 15 calories.
each strawberry contains 3 calories.
each strawberry contains 4 calories.
twenty - four strawberries contain 6 calories.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the slope (calories per strawberry)

The slope formula is \(m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\). Let's take two points on the line, say \((3,12)\) and \((0,0)\). Then \(m=\frac{12 - 0}{3 - 0}=\frac{12}{3}=4\).

Answer:

Each strawberry contains 4 calories.
