To represent the relationship between the number of side dishes and the total cost of the special, we can plot the points from the table you provided.
The points to plot are:
- (2, 10.25)
- (4, 13.25)
- (5, 14.75)
- (8, 19.25)
To determine the correct graph:
1. On the x-axis, you should place the "Number of Side Dishes," which corresponds to the values: 2, 4, 5, and 8.
2. On the y-axis, you should place the "Total Cost" in dollars: 10.25, 13.25, 14.75, and 19.25.
3. Each point represents one of the pairs. You'll look for the following points:
- A point at (2, 10.25) will be near the x-value of 2 and y-value of 10.25.
- A point at (4, 13.25) will be near the x-value of 4 and y-value of 13.25.
- A point at (5, 14.75) will be near the x-value of 5 and y-value of 14.75.
- A point at (8, 19.25) will be near the x-value of 8 and y-value of 19.25.
4. The overall shape of the graph should show an increasing trend as the number of side dishes increases, indicating that the cost also increases.
After plotting the points, check which graph matches these criteria; the correct graph should show a straight line or curve that connects these points appropriately. If you have specific graphs to choose from, please provide them so I can help you identify the correct one.
