The graph shows pages read, where x = minutes and y = pages. Explain what the highlighted point (0, 0) means.
Read the x-unit and y-unit before explaining the highlighted point.

Interpret Points on Proportional Relationship Graphs
Practice what coordinates mean in context, including the two special points emphasized by the standard: the origin and the point whose x-coordinate is 1. A highlighted point keeps the task interpretive rather than computational guessing.

The graph shows total cost, where x = items and y = dollars. Explain what the highlighted point (4, 16) means.
Read the x-unit and y-unit before explaining the highlighted point.
Exact-construction rule: fraction unit rates stay rational, graph coordinates come from known equations, and money applications use integer cents. No answer key depends on a hidden rounding convention.
Teaching note 1
Read the x-coordinate first using the x-axis unit, then connect it to the y-coordinate and y-axis unit.
Teaching note 2
The origin means zero of the input quantity corresponds to zero of the output quantity.
Teaching note 3
The point (1, r) names the unit rate directly.

Frequently asked questions
Does every problem ask for the unit rate?
No. Problems rotate among the origin, the unit-rate point, and general points on the relationship.
Why include context labels?
The standard asks students to explain what a point means in the situation, not only state its coordinates.
