What's the Y-axis? USD? Pounds? Footballs?

x is lbs so probably USD

Are they priced per pound? If there are separate, discreet prices, then this probably should be a bar graph.

I don't understand the Y-axis either. It first I thought it was number of chickens, but that didn't really make sense. Logically it's USD but then the graph doesn't make sense. Unless the price is fixed and not per pound but if that's the case... What's the Y-axis? So I think it must be the number of chickens a nd get stuck in my loop all over again.

It's a fixed price per pound with a max price of $5. Hence you get a pair of piecewise linear functions.

Units. The legend tells you which units per line

Chickens under 3 lbs are weighed and marked by weight. Therefore are priced under $4.99.
Never grab the one with the cheaper price, it's just small. Grab the biggest one you can see. Since anything at and above 3lbs is $4.99

Those chickens should cost a lot more. They're undervalued.

You must have missed the part about the price maxing out at $5

Just because you contradict yourself in the next half of a sentence doesn't mean the first half is correct. It is not a fixed price per pound.

Also known as not a fixed relationship

A friend asked if it was worth buying the discount chickens at Costco that weighed less than 3 pounds, and I emphatically said no! To explain why, I made this chart.
