  1. The graph shows the relationship between the total price of tomatoes and the number of pounds of tomatoes purchased. Which statement is true?

    Price of Tomatoes

    A graph displays data on the price of tomatoes. The x-axis displays the number of pounds. The y-axis displays the total price. The graph is a line that rises with a moderate slope from approximately (0, 0).
    1. The number of pounds depends on the total price.
    2. The number of tomatoes depends on the total price.
    3. The total price depends on the number of pounds.
    4. The number of tomatoes depends on the number of pounds.
  2. A line passes through the point (2, 1) and has a slope of negative , 3 fifths , .  What is an equation of the line?

    1. y minus 1 equals , negative , 3 fifths , open x minus 2 close
    2. y minus 1 equals , negative , 5 thirds , open x minus 2 close
    3. y minus 2 equals , negative , 3 fifths , open x minus 1 close
    4. y minus 2 equals , negative , 5 thirds , open x minus 1 close
