Explanation:

In a proportional relationship graph, the x - axis represents strawberries (cups) and the y - axis represents bananas (cups). The point \((6, 4.5)\) means when the number of cups of strawberries (x - value) is 6, the number of cups of bananas (y - value) is 4.5. So we check each option:

• Option 1: Incorrect, as the x - value is 6, not 4.5 for strawberries.
• Option 2: Incorrect, the y - value is 4.5, not 6 for bananas.
• Option 3: Correct, it matches the x = 6 (strawberries) and y = 4.5 (bananas) interpretation.
• Option 4: Incorrect, the x and y values are reversed.

Answer:

C. For every 6 cups of strawberries, there are 4.5 cups of bananas.
