John bought 6 dumplings for $3.00. Let x represent the number of dumplings purchased, and let y represent the total cost. Graph the line that represents the proportional relationship.

The real answer would be: plot at points (1, .5) and (2,1) Each dumpling is $.50 so yeah. Mods delete the other answer. Its nonsense and its stupid that it was marked verified smh

We know that each dumpling cost $3, and
x represents the number of purchased dumplings. So the total cost of some purchased dumplings will be
3x. Since we also know that
y also represents the total cost, we can equate them to find the equation of our proportional relationship:

y=3x
Now that we have our equation, to graph our line we are going to choose tow values for
x, then get the values of
y for each value of
x, and then join the tow pair of points using a line:
- If
x=6,
y=3(6)=18, so our first pair is (6,18)
- If
x=0,
y=3(0)=0, so our second pair is (0,0).
