Question

the graph below shows how much money rednash high school plans to raise in their fundraiser for new lab equipment.
based on the graph, what does point (7, 1120) represent?
$1120 has been raised at the beginning of the fundraiser
the fundraiser will last 7 months.
$1120 is expected to be raised in the fundraiser
$1120 will be raised in the seventh month of the fundraiser.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze graph axes

The x - axis is "Months" (representing time in months of the fundraiser), and the y - axis is "Money Raised" (in dollars).

Step2: Interpret the point (7, 1120)

For a point \((x,y)\) on this graph, \(x\) is the number of months, and \(y\) is the money raised. So when \(x = 7\) (7th month) and \(y=1120\) (amount of money), the point \((7,1120)\) means that \$1120 will be raised in the seventh month of the fundraiser.
Let's eliminate other options:

• Option 1: At the beginning (month 0), the money raised is 0 (from the graph's origin), not \$1120. So this is wrong.
• Option 2: The fundraiser's duration can't be determined just from this point. The x - axis goes up to 13, but we don't know if 7 is the end. So this is wrong.
• Option 3: \$1120 is the amount raised in the 7th month, not the total expected (the graph is about cumulative or monthly? From the trend, it's about monthly or cumulative over months, but the point is at month 7, so it's the amount in the 7th month, not the total expected. So this is wrong.

Answer:

\$1120 will be raised in the seventh month of the fundraiser. (The option: \$1120 will be raised in the seventh month of the fundraiser.)
