Question

* Required The table shows the number of calories an athlete burned per minute of exercise. Determine whether the number of calories burned is proportional to the number of minutes by graphing on the coordinate plane. Explain your reasoning. * Number of Minutes 0 1 2 3 Number of Calories 0 4 8 13 Your answer

Answer 1

According to the information provided, you have the following ordered pairs:

`(0,0),\text{ (1,4), (2,8), (3,13)}`

So, remember that an ordered pair has the form (x,y), where "x" represents the x-coordinates and "y" the y-coordinates.

Knowing that, you can plot each point on a Coordinate plane:

By definition, Proportional relationships are straight lines that passes through the origin. In this case, since it is not a straight line, you can determine that the number of calories burned is not proportional to the number of minutes.
