On a coordinate plane, a graph titled Pizza Recipe has Pizzas on the x-axis and Cups of Pizza Sauce on the y-axis. Point A is (3, 2), point B is (4, 2.6), point C is (4.5, 3), point D is (6, 4).

Answer 1

Which point should Julio use to determine the amount of pizza sauce he needs to bring?

(B 4,26)

Answer 2

The question is incomplete, but after a small search I've found that the complete question is something like:

To celebrate something, a teacher will make pizzas for the class.

There are 30 students in his class and each pizza serves 8

Julio will bring the pizza sauce. Which point should Julio use to determine the amount of pizza sauce he needs to bring?

In a graph, the vertical axis is represented with the variable y, which is defined as the dependent variable, while the horizontal axis represents the variable x, which is the independent variable.

The notation for a point in that graph is (x, y)

Here, we know that the x-axis represents the number of pizzas, and the y-axis represents the number of cups of pizza sauce needed for the x pizzas.

So, for example, the point (3, 2) means that:

for x = 3 pizzas, you need y = 2 cups of pizza sauce.

So, now let's find the number of pizzas that will feed the whole class.

There are 30 students, Each pizza serves for 8.

Then the number of pizzas needed is:

30/8 = 3.75 pizzas.

But we can round it to 4 pizzas because making a 0.75 of a pizza does not make a lot of sense.

Then we could use point B, which is (4, 2.6)

This means that, for 4 pizzas, they need 2.6 cups of pizza sauce.

So Julio should bring 2.6 cups of pizza sauce.
