A proportional relationship between the number of pounds of potatoes (x) and the price in dollars (y) is graphed and the order pair (4,3) is on the graphed line. Part A what is the price of 1 pound of potatoes part B what does the ordered pair (8,6) on the graph represent
A) The price of 1 pound of potatoes can be found by calculating the unit rate of the proportional relationship. We can divide the price (y) by the pounds of potatoes (x) for the ordered pair (4,3):
Price per pound = y / x
Price per pound = 3/4
So, the price of 1 pound of potatoes is $0.75.
B) The ordered pair (8,6) on the graph represents that when 8 pounds of potatoes are purchased, the price will be $6.
