Question

Which point on the graph shows the price of 6 ounces of cheese? Use the formula y=x÷2 to find y when x is 6.

Answer 1

y=x divided by 2
y= (6) divided by 2
y=3

Answer 2

Answer: The required point is A(6, 3) in the attached graph.

Step-by-step explanation: We are to find the point on the given graph that shows the price of 6 ounces of cheese.

The formula to be used is given by

`y=x/ 2\\\\\Rightarrow y=(x)/(2)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i).`

Given that,

when x = 2 then y = 1. That is, price of 2 ounces of cheese is $1.

when x = 7 then y = 3.5. That is, price of 7 ounces of cheese is $3.5.

when x = 14 then y = 7. That is, price of 14 ounces of cheese is $7.

Therefore, these points satisfy the given relation (i).

Hence, if x = 6, then from equation (i), we have

`y=(x)/(2)=(6)/(2)=3.`

Thus, the price of 6 ounces of cheese is &3. This gives that the required point is A(6, 3) on the graph attached below.
