Question

what does the point e represent? an order for 20 pounds of tomatoes costs $25. an order for 25 pounds of tomatoes costs $20

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph axes

The x - axis represents "Pounds" (of tomatoes) and the y - axis represents "Dollars" (cost).

Step2: Determine the coordinates of point E

From the graph, the x - coordinate (pounds) of point E is 20 and the y - coordinate (dollars) is 25.

Step3: Interpret the coordinates

This means that when the amount of tomatoes is 20 pounds, the cost is $25. So we check the given options:

• The first option: "An order for 20 pounds of tomatoes costs $25" matches the coordinates of point E.
• The second option: "An order for 25 pounds of tomatoes costs $20" has the pounds and dollars reversed, so it is incorrect.

Answer:

An order for 20 pounds of tomatoes costs $25.
