Aproportional relationship between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y) is graphed, and the ordered pair (5, 3) is on the graphed line.

part a: what is the price of 1 pound of cabbage? show your work. need asap

The price of 1 pound of cabbage is $0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

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

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

Let

x ----> the number of pounds of cabbage

y ----> the price in dollars

we have the ordered pair (5,3)

Find out the value of the constant of proportionality k

For x=5, y=3

substitute

----->  

The constant of proportionality k is equal to the unit rate of the proportional relationship

therefore

The price of 1 pound of cabbage is $0.60
