Question

1. When x=5 the y-value is.

2. when y equals 1 the x-value is.

3. the greatest y-value shown is.

4. the greatest x-value shown is.

5. in a graph showing the number of hot dogs sold at a baseball game per hour what would the coordinate (1, 62) most likely represent.

Answer 1

1. 15

2. 10

3. 30

4. 10

5. (1, 62) would mean 62 hot dogs were sold in 1 hour.

Explanation:

Using the graph below, find the (x,y_ coordinate pairs. Remember that x is the horizontal axis and y is the vertical axis.

1. When x=5, find the number 5 on the horizontal axis. Follow up the grid line to the point. (5, 15) is the point and 15 is the y-coordinate.

2. When y=1, find the number 1 on the vertical axis. Follow up the grid line to the point. (10,1) is the point and 10 is the x-coordinate.

3. The greatest y value can be found by finding the highest point at (0,30). 30 is the greatest y value.

4. The greatest x value can be found by finding the furthest right point at (10,1). 10 is the greatest x value.

5. Since (x,y) would be (hours, hot dogs) then (1,62) is 1 hour will sell 62 hot dogs.
