There is a proportional relationship between the weight and total cost of a bag of lemons. One bag weighs 2.4 pounds and costs $5.28. Another bag weighs 2.7 pounds and costs $5.94.
Describe how you would graph the proportional relationship. (4 points)
To graph the proportional relationship between the weight and total cost of the bags of lemons, you would first set up a coordinate plane with the weight of the bags on the x-axis and the cost of the bags on the y-axis.
Next, plot the data points for the two bags on the graph.
For the first bag, with a weight of 2.4 pounds and a cost of $5.28, locate the point (2.4, 5.28) on the graph. This represents the weight of 2.4 pounds on the x-axis and the cost of $5.28 on the y-axis.
For the second bag, with a weight of 2.7 pounds and a cost of $5.94, locate the point (2.7, 5.94) on the graph. This represents the weight of 2.7 pounds on the x-axis and the cost of $5.94 on the y-axis.
Once both points have been plotted, draw a straight line connecting the two points. This line represents the proportional relationship between the weight and total cost of the bags of lemons.
Note: It is important to remember that in a proportional relationship, the line connecting the two points will always pass through the origin (0,0) on the graph.
