In a situation where the graph shows a proportional relationship between the total number of tennis balls and the number of cans, the point (2, 6) represents the relationship between these two quantities.

Here, the x-coordinate (2) represents the number of cans, and the y-coordinate (6) represents the total number of tennis balls.

Therefore, the point (2, 6) can be interpreted as:

B. There are two cans with 6 tennis balls.
