Plot the ordered pairs from the given table of values in the coordinate plane.
Example Graph:
Before we begin, let's take a look at the information given in the table of values.
| Length (inches) | 4 | 8 | 12 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width (inches) | 3 | 6 | 9 |
The table of values represents ordered pairs (Length,Width). Let's plot them in the coordinate plane!
We plotted these ordered pairs in the coordinate plane. Now let's draw a line. Note that length cannot exist without width and width cannot exist without length. Therefore, we will start with an open circle at (0, 0) to show the relationship. Also, these measurements represent the size of something so they cannot be negative.
