Answer 1

Part A: To find the price of 1 pound of potatoes, we can divide the y-coordinate (price in dollars) by the x-coordinate (number of pounds of potatoes). So, the price of 1 pound of potatoes is 3/4 dollars, which is equal to $0.75.

Part B: The ordered pair (8, 6) on the graph represents that for 8 pounds of potatoes, the price is $6. This means that if you buy 8 pounds of potatoes, it would cost you $6.
