Question

A company orders boxed lunches from a deli, which all cost the same price. The

relationship between the number of boxed lunches ordered, x, and the total cost in
dollars of the lunches, y, is represented by a graph drawn in the xy-plane.
If the point (5, 35) lies on the graph, what does the ordered
pair (5, 35) Indicate?

Answer 1

The ordered pair (5, 35) in this context indicates that 5 boxed lunches were ordered and the total cost of those lunches was $35.

In the given graph, the x-coordinate represents the number of boxed lunches ordered (in this case, 5), and the y-coordinate represents the total cost of the lunches (in this case, $35). The point (5, 35) indicates the specific combination of the number of boxed lunches and the corresponding total cost on the graph.
