y = 1.2x (option A)

Step-by-step explanation:

the relationship of the price of tomatoes to the weight is proportional one.

A proportional relationship is in the form of y = kx

where k = constant of proportionality

our k here, is the rate of change of tomato price to the weight.

we can pick any two points to find the change

Using points: (weight, price) = (0, 0) and (10, 12)

Rate of change = change in price/change in weight

Rate of change = (12 - 0)/(10-0)

= 12/10 = 1.2

We insert the value of k in to the formula:

y = 1.2 × x = 1.2x

The function that best represents the relationship in the graph: y = 1.2x (option A)
