So you can do the graph youself. You have 2 points already given. (0,0) because you dont pay anything if you dont buy anything, and the given point (4, 3) which is 4 potatoes for 3 dollars.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can represent the graph by y = (3/4)x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thts it @brunomcv

No, now with the equation you can get the answers. Ok, not 4 potatoes for 3 dollars, it was 4 pounds of potatoes for 3 dollars. Part A: They ask how much is 1 pound, just substitute the x for 1 and y will be the price. y = 3/4 3/4 is 75 cents. Part B: the ordered pair (8,6) means that 8 pounds of potatoes are 6 dollars.
