Question

Jacob wants to make a graph to show the relationship between temperatures in Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius. He plots the following points:

(11, -11.7), (15, -9.4), (25, -3.9), (35, 1.7), (45, 7.2)

He uses the following steps to plot the graph:

Label origin as (0, 0)
On x-axis label Temperature in Fahrenheit.
On y-axis label Temperature in degrees Celsius.
The scale on x-axis starts from 0 and goes up to 700 at intervals of 20.
The scale on the y-axis starts from -12 and goes up to 12 at intervals of 2.


Which of the following best describes the graph?

Answer 1

It will not be spread out horizontally across the entire coordinate plane because in Step 4 Jacob selected an incorrect scale on the x-axis.

It will not be spread out vertically across the entire coordinate plane because in Step 5 Jacob selected an incorrect scale on the y-axis.

It will not be spread out horizontally across the entire coordinate plane because in Step 2 Jacob plotted Fahrenheit instead of Celsius on the axis.

It will not be spread out vertically across the entire coordinate plane because in Step 3 Jacob plotted Celsius instead of Fahrenheit on the y-axis.

Answer 2

It's the first option. The coordinates just range from 11 to 45 and he's selecting a scale to plot values upto 700! That would not give an even spread of points.

Answer 3

@emcrazy14 thanks it was right (:
