Question

the graph shows the proportional relationship between strawberries and bananas in joes strawberry banana juice. what is the meaning of the point (6, 4.5)? joes famous juice (graph: x-axis strawberries (cups), y-axis bananas (cups)) options: for every 4.5 cups of strawberries, there are 4.5 cups of bananas. for every 6 cups of strawberries, there are 6 cups of bananas. for every 6 cups of strawberries, there are 4.5 cups of bananas. for every 4.5 cups of strawberries, there are 6 cups of bananas.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Axes

The x - axis is "Strawberries (cups)", y - axis is "Bananas (cups)". So in the point \((6, 4.5)\), \(x = 6\) (strawberries), \(y=4.5\) (bananas).

Step2: Analyze Options

• Option 1: Incorrect, as \(x = 6\) (strawberries) not 4.5.
• Option 2: Incorrect, \(y = 4.5\) not 6.
• Option 3: Correct, since \(x = 6\) (strawberries) and \(y = 4.5\) (bananas).
• Option 4: Incorrect, \(x = 6\) (strawberries) and \(y = 4.5\) (bananas), not vice - versa.

Answer:

For every 6 cups of strawberries, there are 4.5 cups of bananas. (The option corresponding to this statement)
