Exercise 1 Page 130

The equivalent ratios can be used to create ordered pairs of the form (x,y).

Practice makes perfect

Before we begin, let's take a look at the information given in the ratio table.

Time (minutes) Number of Words
1 50
2 100
3 150

The equivalent ratios can be used to create ordered pairs of the form (x,y). The number x corresponds to the horizontal axis and the number y corresponds to the vertical axis. (1,50),(2,100),(3,150) Let's plot these ordered pairs in a coordinate plane.

Finally, we will draw a line through the points starting at (0,0).
