What does the ordered pair (4, 12) indicate?A12 downloads that cost $4 eachB4 downloads that cost $12 eachс 12 downloads that cost a total of $4D4 downloads that cost a total of $12

Answer 1

To answer this question, we need to be careful with the variables in the graph. We have that:

• The variable, x, represents the number of songs downloaded, and

,

• The variable, y, represents the total cost, in dollars, of the downloads.

Therefore, for the point (4, 12), we have that the graph represents x = 4, and y = 12, and it means that there were 4 downloads and a total of $12 for the 4 downloads.

Thus, the correct answer is option D: 4 downloads that cost a total of $12.
