Question

The table of values shows the number of touchdown passes that a quarterback threw in each of his first five football games of the season.

Game vs. Touchdown Passes
Game Touchdown passes
1............................3
2............................ 1
3............................. 3
4........................... 2
5........................... 3

Which would be a point on the scatterplot that represents touchdown passes based on these games played?
(1, 2)
(2, 4)
(3, 1)
(5, 3)

Answer 1

The point on the scatter plot is (5,3) which represents the number of touchdown passes based on these games played.

Answer 2

If x is the game number, and y is the amount of touchdown passes for that specific game number, then (5,3) represents the idea that the quarter back threw y = 3 touchdown passes for game number x = 5

So the answer is choice D. This is the only ordered pair that comes from the given table. Something like (2,4) isn't true because the quarterback threw 1 touchdown pass (not 4) in game two.
