Answer:

i think its the second  but im not sure 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a graph is the rate of change of the graph.

The true statement is: (b) For each additional pound, the price increases by $1.50.

From the table (see attachment), we have the following points

[tex]\mathbf{(x_1,y_1) = (4,6)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{(x_2,y_2) = (8,12)}[/tex]

The slope (m) is calculated as follows:

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{12 - 6}{8 - 4}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{6}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = 1.50}[/tex]

The slope of the table is 1.50

This means that:

For each additional pound, the price increases by $1.50.

Hence, option (b) is true
