Question

A grocery store sells sliced cheddar cheese by weight. The relationship between the amount of cheddar cheese in pounds, and the time in dollars of cheddar cheese in pounds, x, and the total cost in dollars of the sliced cheddra cheese, y, is represented by a graph drawn in the xy-planeIf the point (8, 44) lies on the graph, what does the point (8, 44) indicate?

Answer 1

Remember that the pair of coordinates

`(x,y)`

of a point that lies on the graph of the function tells us the x-value and the

y-value related to that value.

Therefore, the point

`(8,44)`

Represents that 8 pounds of cheddar cheese cost $44 in total (y represents the total cost, not the cost per pound)

(Correct answer is option B)
