A grocery store sells sliced American cheese by weight. The relationship between the amount of American cheese in pounds, xx, and the total cost in dollars of the sliced American cheese, yy, is represented by the graph below.

Question

Two points, Q and R, are labeled. Which statement about the graph is true?

Answer 1

To determine which statement about the graph of the relationship between the amount of sliced American cheese (in pounds) and the total cost (in dollars) is true, we would need to observe the properties of the points Q and R on the graph if they were provided.

However, without a visual graph or additional context regarding the coordinates or characteristics of points Q and R, we can cite some common statements regarding such a linear relationship:

1. If point Q represents a greater amount of cheese than point R (in pounds), then point Q will correspond to a higher total cost than point R.
2. If both points lie on the same line, this means that they have a consistent price per pound of cheese.
3. If the coordinates of point Q or R are given, you can directly calculate the cost from the amount of cheese and verify the relationship.

Could you provide more details or context about the points and the relevant statements about the graph?
