Question

A proportional relationship between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y) is graphed, and the ordered pair (5, 3) is on the graphed line.

Part A: What is the price of 1 pound of cabbage?
Part B: What does the ordered pair (10, 6) on the graph represent?

Answer 1

The pair (5, 3) means x or the pounds of cabbage is 5 and y or 3 is the dollars

So 5 pounds of cabbage costs $3

Cabbage is $0.60/pound

10,6 means 10 pounds of cabbage costs $6.

Explanation:

Just divide the $3 by the 5 pounds of cabbage to get $.60 for each cabbage.
