Question

lucia is buying dessert from a new frozen yogurt shop, the frosty bowl. she pays a base price for the bowl of yogurt as well as an additional amount depending on how many ounces of toppings she adds. this situation can be modeled as a linear relationship. chart: x-axis: ounces of toppings (0 - 10), y-axis: total cost ($1 - $10), green line starting at (0, $2) and going up. complete the statement that describes the situation. the base price from the bowl of yogurt is $2, and toppings cost dropdown options: $0.50, $1, $1.50, $2 per ounce.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify y-intercept (base price)

The y-intercept is the value when x=0 ounces of toppings. From the graph, at x=0, y=2. So base price = $2.

Step2: Calculate slope (cost per ounce)

Pick two points: (0,2) and (10,7). Slope = $\frac{7-2}{10-0} = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5$. So cost per ounce = $0.50.

Answer:

The base price from the bowl of yogurt is $2, and toppings cost $0.50 per ounce.
