Answer:
A. The ordered pair (5, 3.5) represents 5 lbs. of strawberries cost $3.50.
B. The cost per pound of strawberries is shown at (1, 0.7).
C. The relationship shown in the graph is a direct variation because as the pounds of strawberries increase, the cost also increases.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. The coordinate is in (x,y). The x-axis represents the pound of strawberries and the y-axis represents the cost of the strawberries.
B. The cost for one pound of strawberries can be calculated to find the exact value of y (cost) when x is 1. The graph shows 5 lbs. of strawberries cost $3.50 so divide $3.50 by 5 lbs. to find the cost per pound of strawberries. 3.5 ÷ 5 = 0.7. On the graph, the cost for one pound of strawberries is at (1, 0.7)
C. A direct variation in a graph is shown when both x and y increase or decrease together. In this case, as the pounds of strawberries increase, the cost of the strawberries also increases.
