Answer:

Answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

We'd need more information to answer this question, namely, the unit price for organic apples.  Without this info there is nothing to compare.  Answer D

Steepness of a line is measured by its slope. For the considered case: Option D: We need more information to answer this question.

What is the slope of a straight line?

A straight line of the form [tex]y = mx + c[/tex] has its slope as 'm'

It is constant for a line. The more the slope is, the steeper the line is.

Sign convention takes bottom left to top right going line as positive sloped. And that line which goes from bottom right to top left is taken to have negative slope. Horizontal line has 0 slope and vertical line has infinite slope, as it is now at maximum steepness.

For the given case, we're not given the price of organic apples. If we assume that the price of organic apples is given by [tex]y = Ax[/tex] [tex]y = Px[/tex]

Then, if A > 2.75, then graph of organic apples is steeper, else if A < 2.75, then the graph of pears is steeper.

Otherwise, if A = 2.75 (which means price of pears = price of organic appples), then both are of same steepness.

Since we don't know A's value here, thus:

For the considered case: Option D: We need more information to answer this question.
