Question

this graph shows how the amount of jelly malik has left is related to the number of sandwiches he makes. ounces of jelly remaining (graph with x-axis number of sandwiches made from 0 to 10, y-axis jelly remaining (ounces) from 0 to 10, line from (0,8.5) to (8,0)) if malik makes 2 sandwiches, how many ounces of jelly will he have left? 6.5 ounces, 4.5 ounces, 7 ounces, 3.5 ounces

Explanation:

Step1: Locate x=2 on the graph

Find the vertical line at x = 2 (number of sandwiches = 2) on the x - axis.

Step2: Find the intersection point

Trace up from x = 2 until it intersects the line on the graph. Then, trace horizontally to the y - axis (ounces of jelly remaining). From the graph, when x = 2, the y - value (jelly remaining) is 6.5? Wait, no, let's re - check. Wait, the y - intercept is 8.5? Wait, no, the line goes from (0, 8.5)? Wait, no, looking at the grid: when x = 0, y = 8.5? Wait, no, the first point is (0, 8.5)? Wait, no, the grid lines: each square is 1 unit. Wait, the line starts at (0, 8.5)? No, looking at the graph, when x = 0, y is 8.5? Wait, no, the y - axis is labeled from 0 to 10, with grid lines at each integer. Wait, the line passes through (0, 8.5)? No, maybe my initial look was wrong. Wait, let's calculate the slope. The line goes from (0, 8.5) to (8, 0)? Wait, no, when x = 0, y is 8.5? Wait, no, the first point: when x = 0, the jelly remaining is 8.5? Wait, no, the grid: the y - axis has 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. The line starts at (0, 8.5)? No, maybe the line is from (0, 8.5) to (8, 0). Wait, the slope is (0 - 8.5)/(8 - 0)= - 8.5/8=-1.0625. But when x = 2, y = 8.5-21.0625 = 8.5 - 2.125 = 6.375≈6.5. Wait, but the options are 6.5, 4.5, 7, 3.5. Wait, maybe I misread the graph. Wait, let's look again. The graph: x - axis is number of sandwiches (0 - 10), y - axis is jelly remaining (0 - 10). The line goes from (0, 8.5) to (8, 0). Wait, when x = 2, the y - value: let's count the grid. Each square is 1 unit. Wait, the first point: (0, 8.5) is between 8 and 9? No, maybe the graph is from (0, 8.5) to (8, 0). Wait, the options: 6.5 is an option. Wait, maybe the correct answer is 6.5 ounces? Wait, no, wait, let's check the line again. Wait, maybe the line is from (0, 8.5) to (8, 0). So the equation is y = - (8.5/8)x+8.5. When x = 2, y = 8.5-(8.5/8)2 = 8.5 - 2.125 = 6.375≈6.5. So the answer is 6.5 ounces.

Answer:

6.5 ounces
