To determine which statement about the graph is true, we need to analyze the relationship between the number of games downloaded (x) and the total cost (y), focusing on points A and B.
Unit Rate Definition: The unit rate is calculated by taking the total cost (y) and dividing it by the number of games downloaded (x) in order to find the cost per game.
-
Point A: You need to look at the coordinates of point A to find the total cost and the number of games downloaded. Let's say it is \( (x_a, y_a) \).
- If \( y_a \) is the total cost at \( x_a \) games, the unit rate would be \( \frac{y_a}{x_a} \).
-
Point B: Similarly, look at the coordinates of point B, which is \( (x_b, y_b) \).
- The unit rate is \( \frac{y_b}{x_b} \).
Assuming you have the values for point A and point B, you would perform the calculations as mentioned.
Without the actual graph or values, it is difficult to definitively answer which option is true; however, you can use the following approach once you have that data:
- For Point B, if the total cost (y) is $8 for 1 game (x), then the unit rate is $8 per game, which supports option: "Point B means that the unit rate is $8.00 per game."
- For Point A, if the total cost is $32 for 1 game, then the unit rate is $32 per game, supporting option: "Point A means that the unit rate is $32.00 per game."
- If Point A showed a cost of $8 for 2 games, the unit rate would be at $4 per game, which supports option: "Point A means that the unit rate is 4 games per dollar."
- Lastly, if Point B shows a cost of $8 for 64 games, the rate would be 8 games per dollar, supporting option: "Point B means that the unit rate is 8 games per dollar."
Review the values at points A and B on your graph to confirm which of these statements is correct based on the specific coordinates. If you can provide those values, I can help you analyze further!
