Rolled oats (dry oatmeal) come in cylindrical containers with a diameter of 5 inches and a height of 9 inches. These containers are shipped to grocery stores in boxes. Each shipping box contains six rolled oats containers. The shipping company is trying to figure out the dimensions of the box for shipping the rolled oats containers that will use the least amount of cardboard. They are only considering boxes that are rectangular prisms so that they are easy to stack.

answer: there are 453.592 grams in a pound.

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points
