The table shows the ratio between the number of books ordered and their cost: Number of Books Cost (dollars) 7 14 8 16 9 18 Find equivalent ratios when the number of books ordered is 1, 2, and 3. Write them as ordered pairs in the form (x-coordinate, y-coordinate). Starting from the origin, explain how to plot the three equivalent ratios on a coordinate grid. (10 points)

14/7 = 2

16/8 = 2

18/9 = 2

This shows the cost of one book is $2

Multiply the number of books bought by 2 to get the cost:

1 x 2 = 2

2 x 2 = 4

3 x 2 = 6

Answer: (1,2) (2,4) (3,6)

Starting from the origin (0,0) for every 1 book bought ( x axis) move 2 more up than the previous total (y axis)

Using the 3 ordered pairs in the answer at x value 1 place a dot at y 2, then a dot at x2,y4 and again at x3,y6
