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:

1. Label origin as (0, 0).
2. On x-axis, label Temperature in Fahrenheit.
3. On y-axis, label Temperature in degrees Celsius.
4. The scale on x-axis starts from 0 and goes up to 700 at intervals of 20.
5. 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? ( 1 point)

It

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 x-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.
