Use the image to answer the question.

A curve showing an increase of weight over time is plotted on a coordinate plane. The y-axis is labeled weight left parenthesis pounds right parenthesis. The x-axis is labeled time left parenthesis months right parenthesis.

To determine the approximate weight of the child when they are 6 months old, you would look for the point on the curve corresponding to 6 months on the x-axis. Since I can't see the image, I can't give you a specific answer, but typically, you can estimate the weight by identifying the y-coordinate of the curve at the x-coordinate of 6.

If you have the options:

  • 20 pounds
  • 17 pounds
  • 0 pounds
  • 16 pounds

You would choose the option that best matches the observed weight on the curve at 6 months.

If 20 pounds appears to be the closest point on the graph at that time, you would select 20 pounds. Without seeing the graph, I would recommend reviewing it to confirm the weight value that aligns with the point on the curve at 6 months.
