Question

The points on the coordinate grid below represent the costs for the different numbers of peaches.
Select two statements that are true about the graph.



A. The point (1, 0.75) can be used to represent the unit rate of 0.75 dollars per peach.
B. The point (1, 0.75) can be used to determine the total cost by subtracting 0.25 from the number of peaches.
C. The point (4, 3) represents the cost of $4 for 3 peaches.
D. The point (4, 3) represents 4 peaches at a cost of $3.

Answer 1

To determine which statements are true about the graph, let's analyze each option:

A. **The point (1, 0.75) can be used to represent the unit rate of 0.75 dollars per peach.**
This statement is true. The point (1, 0.75) indicates that for 1 peach, the cost is $0.75, representing a unit rate of $0.75 per peach.

B. **The point (1, 0.75) can be used to determine the total cost by subtracting 0.25 from the number of peaches.**
This statement is false. The point (1, 0.75) does not relate to subtracting 0.25 to find a total cost. Instead, it represents the cost for just 1 peach, not a method for finding total cost.

C. **The point (4, 3) represents the cost of $4 for 3 peaches.**
This statement is false. The point (4, 3) denotes that the cost is $3 for 4 peaches, not $4 for 3 peaches.

D. **The point (4, 3) represents 4 peaches at a cost of $3.**
This statement is true. The coordinates (4, 3) show that 4 peaches cost $3.

Based on this analysis, the two true statements are:
- **A**: The point (1, 0.75) can be used to represent the unit rate of 0.75 dollars per peach.
- **D**: The point (4, 3) represents 4 peaches at a cost of $3.
