Understanding the Graph of George's Candy Bars

The video tutorial explains how to interpret a graph showing George's unsold candy bars over a 10-day period. It focuses on understanding the slope of the line represented by the graph, which is calculated as the change in the vertical-axis over the change in the horizontal-axis. The tutorial guides viewers through identifying the correct line with a slope of negative 12 and deriving the equation of the line, y = -12x + 120, by determining the y-intercept when x is zero.

What does the graph represent in the context of George's candy bars?

• The price of candy bars over time

• The total number of candy bars George had

• The number of unsold candy bars over a 10-day period

• The number of candy bars sold each day
