Aproportional relationship between the number of pounds of carrots (x) and the price in dollars (y) is graphed, and the ordered pair (8, 6) is on the graphed line. part a: what is the price of 1 pound of carrots? show your work. (8 points)

$0.75  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a proportional relationship between the number of pounds of carrots (x) and the price in dollars (y).

We can represent this information as: .

We are also told that the ordered pair (8, 6) is on the graphed line. Let us substitute x= 8 and y= 6 in our proportional equation to find the constant of proportionality.

Now let us substitute k=3/4 and x=1 in our proportionality equation.

Therefore, the price of 1 pound of carrots will be $0.75.
