A proportional relationship between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y) is graphed, and the ordered pair (5, 2) is on the graphed line.

Part A: What is the price of 1 pound of cabbage? Show your work. (8 points)
Part B: What does the ordered pair (10, 4) on the graph represent? Explain in words. (2 points)

Answer 1

part a: If x represents the number of pounds of cabbage and y represents the price in dollars, then (5, 2) means that 5 pounds of cabbage costs $2.00. If that is true, then 1 pound of cabbage will cost $0.40. (divide both values by 5)

The ordered pair (10, 4) means that 10 pounds of cabbage cost $4.00.
