Answer

(a) $1100. (b) 12 gigabytes. (c) increases.

Work Step by Step

Hard drive capacity in gigabytes is plotted on the x-axis and price in dollars on the y-axis. (a) When we draw a horizontal line from the point that has an x-value of 8, it crosses the y-axis at 1100. So, the price of the laptop with hard drive capacity of 8 gigabytes is \$1100. (b) When we draw a vertical line from the point that has a y-value of 1200, it crosses the x-axis at 12. So, the hard drive capacity of \$1200 laptop is 12 gigabytes. (c) As the plotted points go up from left to right, the price of the laptop increases as the hard drive capacity increases.
