A curve showing the price of a bag of cookies over time is plotted on a coordinate plane. The y-axis is labeled price per bag of cookies left parenthesis dollars right parenthesis. The x-axis is labeled time left parenthesis years right parenthesis.

In 2007, Best Cookies Bakery introduced a new cookie flavor. The following is the graph of the function representing the price for each bag of this new cookie flavor since 2007. Interpret the following function graph to determine the year that the price per bag of cookies was $4.

To determine the year when the price per bag of cookies was $4, you would look for the point on the graph where the price (y-axis) intersects with the value of $4.

If the graph shows a curve representing the price of cookies over time starting from 2007, you would find the corresponding x-coordinate (time in years since 2007) where the y-value is $4.

For example, if you find that the x-coordinate is 3, that would indicate the year 2010 (since 2007 + 3 = 2010).

Without the actual graph, I can't specify the exact year, but you should follow this approach to find the intersection point for the price of $4.
