Use the table and image to answer the question.
Electricity Cost per Day for House 1
Days ($) Cost
6 97.50
8 130.00
12 195.00
An illustration shows Quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Days and ranges from 0 to 35 in 5 unit increments. The y-axis is labeled Cost in dollars and ranges from 0 to 500 in 50 unit increments. The graph is titled Electricity Cost Per Day. A line connects seven points plotted on the graph. The coordinates of the plotted points are left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 75 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 10 comma 150 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 15 comma 225 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 20 comma 300 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 25 comma 375 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 30 comma 450 right parenthesis.
The accumulated electricity costs for two houses are displayed in the table and the graph. The table represents the proportional relationship for House 1, and the graph represents the proportional relationship for House 2. Which house had the lowest cost per day? Enter 1 for House 1. Enter 2 for House 2.
(1 point)
House
had the lowest accumulated electricity cost per day.
To determine which house had the lowest cost per day, we need to compare the values in the "($) Cost" column of the table for House 1, and the y-coordinates of the plotted points on the graph for House 2.
Looking at the table for House 1, the cost per day ranges from $97.50 to $195.00.
Looking at the graph for House 2, the y-coordinates of the plotted points range from 75 to 450.
Comparing these values, we can see that House 2 had the lowest cost per day.
Therefore, the answer is: House 2
To determine which house had the lowest cost per day, we need to compare the data given in the table and the graph.
In the table, the electricity cost per day for House 1 is given for different numbers of days. The cost per day increases as the number of days increases.
In the graph, the line connects seven points plotted on the graph to represent the proportional relationship for House 2. The y-axis represents the cost in dollars and the x-axis represents the number of days. As the number of days increases, the cost per day also increases.
Comparing the two representations, we can see that the cost per day for House 1 in the table is consistently higher compared to the cost per day for House 2 indicated by the line on the graph.
Therefore, House 2 had the lowest cost per day. Hence, the answer is 2 for House 2.
