Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

We are told that a baseball team scores in each of their first 5 innings. After that they do not score a run for the next 10 innings.

Let x represent the inning of the game and y represent the total number of runs.

Required;

Sketch a graph that shows the relationship between x and y.

Step-by-step explanation;

With each run the team scores points, that simply means as x increases, y also increases. That signifies a positive relationship between both variables. A positive relationship will be an upward sloping line (from left to right). At the point where the team does not score any more points, the line does not rise.

So the innings (the x-axis) moves towards the right while the runs does not move at all up till 10 innings.

This is best described by the graph labelled C.
