To graph the proportional relationship between weight and total cost, you would use a scatter plot. On the x-axis, you would represent the weight of the bag of cherries in pounds, and on the y-axis, you would represent the total cost of the bag of cherries in dollars.
For the first bag, you would plot the point (2.1, 7.98), and for the second bag, you would plot the point (2.8, 10.64).
Once you have plotted these two points, you can draw a straight line connecting them. This line represents the proportional relationship between weight and total cost. Any other bag of cherries that falls on this line will have a proportional weight-to-cost relationship.
There is a proportional relationship between the weight and total cost of a bag of cherries. One bag weighs 2.1 pounds and costs $7.98. Another bag weighs 2.8 pounds and costs $10.64.
Describe how you would graph the proportional relationship.
