To determine which store has the better buy on footballs, we need to analyze the cost per football from both stores.

From the information given for Store 1:
- The cost for 1 football is $12.
- The cost for 2 footballs is $24, making the cost per football still $12.
- The cost for 3 footballs is $36, which again gives a cost per football of $12.

Now, let's look at Store 2. Based on the graph provided, it indicates that the cost for one football can be derived from the plotted points. The slope of the line (the value that represents the cost per football) is $9, since the graph shows that the cost increases by $9 for each football purchased.

Thus, we have:
- Store 1: $12 per football
- Store 2: $9 per football

Since $9 is less than $12, Store 2 has the better buy.

Therefore, 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.**
