A line graph shows number of items on the x-axis and cost in dollars on the y-axis. The graph shows the trends for A, B, C, and D. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 7 in increments of 1. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 35 in increments of 5. A line starts at the origin and passes through the plotted point A at left parenthesis 1 comma 25 right parenthesis. A line starts at the origin and passes through plotted point B at left parenthesis 2 comma 30 right parenthesis. A line starts at the origin and passes through plotted point C at left parenthesis 2 comma 20 right parenthesis. A line starts at the origin and passes through plotted point D at left parenthesis 4 comma 20 right parenthesis.

Talia noticed a sale at her favorite store. The points on the graph show how many items she bought of each. T-shirts were selling for $5 each, long sleeve shirts were $10 each, jeans were discounted to $15 each, and sweaters were on sale for $25 each. Name the point corresponding to the number of pairs of jeans Talia purchased.

To find the point corresponding to the number of pairs of jeans Talia purchased, we need to identify the price point for jeans, which is $15 each according to the information provided.

The graph shows line plotted points as follows:
- Point A (1, 25) corresponds to 1 item at a cost of $25 (which is a sweater).
- Point B (2, 30) corresponds to 2 items at a cost of $30 (which is a long sleeve shirt).
- Point C (2, 20) corresponds to 2 items at a cost of $20 (which is a T-shirt).
- Point D (4, 20) corresponds to 4 items at a cost of $20 (which is also a T-shirt).

We now need to find which point corresponds to jeans priced at $15 each. To find this, we divide the total cost by the price per jean:

- For 1 pair of jeans: $15
- For 2 pairs of jeans: $30
- For 3 pairs of jeans: $45
- For 4 pairs of jeans: $60

None of the plotted points corresponds exactly to $15 for 1 pair since point A is for a sweater, point B is for long sleeve shirts, point C is for T-shirts, and point D is also for T-shirts.

Since we do not have a plotted point for jeans in the given points (A, B, C, D), we conclude that Talia did not purchase jeans according to the provided points.

Therefore, based on the points A, B, C, and D, none match the jeans pricing. However, since only specific points are indicated as available options, and jeans are $15, Talia must have corresponded to either B or C, but since she bought only jeans, we do not have a specific point declaration.

To stay within the constraints of the question, the closest answer based on the initial inquiry about jeans would be as follows:

- Point D can be thought of, as it allows more than one item for only $5 more.

So, while acknowledging the absence of a jeans-specific point, I suggest the answer structured towards the closest corresponding nature would be:

**D**.
