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.
| Yogurt (ounces) | 7 | 14 | 21 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Granola (ounces) | 3 | 6 | 9 |
The table of values represents ordered pairs (Yogurt (oz),Granola (oz)). Let's plot them in the coordinate plane!
We plotted these ordered pairs in the coordinate plane. Now let's draw a line starting at (0,0) through the points to show the relationship. Note that the points we drew in the coordinate plane represent the quantity of something. Let's start our graph with an open circle at (0,0) to show this relationship. This is also why we limit our graph to the first quadrant and ignore any negative values.
