Jorge bought 16 apples for $8.00. let x represent the number of apples purchased, and let y represent the total cost. graph the line that represents the proportional relationship. (it doesn't have a graph because i need to graph it)

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form or

In this problem

Jorge bought apples for

This is a direct variation problem

Let

x-----> the number of apples purchased

y-----> the total cost

The value of k is equal to the value of the slope m

Substitute

The linear equation is

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The answer in the attached figure
