Please help! The graph shows the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year. The table shows the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at the same store in the previous year. A graph shows Number of Bushels on x-axis and Price of Corn in dollars on y-axis. The x-axis scale is shown from 0 to 14 at increments of 2, and the y-axis scale is shown from 0 to 98 at increments of 14. A straight line joins the ordered pairs 2, 14 and 4, 28 and 6, 42 and 8, 56 and 10, 70 and 12, 84. Previous Year Number of Bushels Price of Corn (dollars) 2 10 4 20 6 30 8 40 Part A: Describe in words how you can find the rate of change of a bushel of corn in the current year, and find the value. (5 points) Part B: How many dollars more is the price of a bushel of corn in the current year than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year? Show your work. (5 points)

(A) The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.

(B) The price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph for the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year is shown below.

Part A:

The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year based upon the number of bushels is known as the slope of the line.

The formula to compute the slope is:

Consider the ordered pairs: (4, 28) and (10, 70)

Compute the slope of the line as follows:

Thus, the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.

Part B:

The data for the price of bushels in the previous year is as follows:

Number of BushelsPrice

              2                   10

              4                  20

              6                  30

              8                  40

Compute the  rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year based upon the number of bushels as follows:

Consider the ordered pairs: (2, 10) and (6, 30)

The  rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year is $5.

Thus, the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.
