Mushrooms are healthy food for wild songbirds. Adam buys a 3.5 oz container of mealworms for $8.75. Marco buys a 3.75- oz container of mealworms for $9.75. Which container is a better buy?

Adam's container

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Adam

Macro

Required

Determine the better buy

First, we need to determine the unit cost per oz of each

i.e.

For Adam:

For Marco:

The better buy of both is the one with the smaller unit cost.

Since 2.5 < 2.6, we can conclude that Adam's container is a better buy

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
