The values on the y axis are 0, 14, 28, 42, 56, and 70. Points are shown on ordered pairs 0, 0 and 1, 14 and 2, 28 and 3, 42 and 4, 56. These points are connected by a line.

There are 14 napkins for every 1 table. The ratio of tables to napkins is 15:1. There are 14 tables for every 1 napkin.

Answer 1

The point (1,14) shows that if there is one table in the room, then it will be set with 14 napkins. The other points show that if there are more tables in the room, the same ratio holds ... there will be 14 napkins on EACH table.
