Question

After two plays the wildcats gained a total of 16 yards. If X represents the number of yards for play one, and Y represents the number of yards for play two make a table for possible values of X and Y. Graph the ordered pairs and describe the graph

Answer 1

The equation for this problem would be:
x+y = 16
Rearranging the equation, it can be expressed as:
y = 16 - x

To obtain ordered pairs, replace random values of x up to 16 to find the value of y. The ordered pairs are tabulated and the graph is shown in the attached picture.
