To determine which store has the better buy on footballs, let's first look at the prices listed for Store 1 and the information from the graph regarding Store 2.

From the table, Store 1's cost for footballs according to the quantity is:
- 1 football: $12
- 2 footballs: $24
- 3 footballs: $36

The graph shows an upward slanting line segment that suggests that for Store 2 (based on the points provided), the costs would be:
- 1 football: $9
- 2 footballs: $18
- 3 footballs: $27

Now, comparing the costs for both stores:
- For 1 football: Store 1 = $12, Store 2 = $9
- For 2 footballs: Store 1 = $24, Store 2 = $18
- For 3 footballs: Store 1 = $36, Store 2 = $27

Store 2 consistently offers a lower price for the same quantity of footballs.

Thus, the answers to your questions are:
1. Store 2 has the better buy on footballs.
2. Store 1’s football costs $12, and Store 2’s football costs $9.

So, the correct response is:
**Store 2 has the better buy on footballs. Store 1’s football costs $12, and Store 2’s football costs $9.**
