PLEASE HELP!? In at least one well-developed paragraph, explain how many sneakers and video games are produced at each of the five points on the graph. Then in at least one additional, well-developed paragraph, analyze how the graph can show efficiency, growth, and cost. Refer to the writing rubric for guidance. give me a minute to draw it quick:)

@Carleigh<3 help please?:)

OpenStudy (compassionate):

You try to write something up and I'll correct it if I see a problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what i got for first paragraph but im pretty sure its worng lol; If X represent video games, and Y represents sneakers, they are looking for (X, Y) coordinates of these points. So from left to right: (0, 25), (5, 20), (10, 15), etc...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ouch...i dont know if i can help with this one :/ i can keep looking it over though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second paragraph wasnt sure about, and its okay @Carleigh<3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that looks about right...i was never good with the (x,y) coordinate stuff :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Compassionate i thought u were gona help correct me?

@jim_thompson5910 can i get sum help?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

What does something like (5, 20) mean in this case?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

coordinates?

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Sorry, I'm a busy bee. ~ First, ask yourself, "is this graph positive or negative."

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes but what specifically does it mean?

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Though, I am extremely busy. So if @jim_thompson5910 , if you wouldn't mind taking this off my hands.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jim do you mean what does coordinates mean?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well you said so yourself that x and y represented something more than just those two letters

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is x in this case?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=video games

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so x = # of video games made? or x = # of video games bought? or something completely different?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

video games produced

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so when x = 5 that means that 5 video games are produced (unless x is some number in thousands or millions)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

when y = 20, what does that mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=20 sneakers produced?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes so each ordered pair tells you how much of each product is produced another example (10,15) means x = 10 and y = 15 so 10 video games are produced and 15 sneakers are produced

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so now how would I go about making my first paragraph?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You just need to list out all the points on this graph and what they all mean.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I provided an example of the basic format for each point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops sorry were i mared the line under thirty on the graph on the y coordinates, its supposed to be a little under the 25, and didn't i get it right above with my first paragraph?
