PLEASE ANSWER ASAP 20 pts

Consider the table. Explain how to use a graph to find additional equivalent ratios.

A 2-column table with 2 rows. Column 1 is labeled Books (x) with entries 2, 4. Column 2 is labeled Cost (y) with entries 5, 10.

Answer 1

Sample Response: Plot the ordered pairs (2, 5) and (4, 10). Start at (4, 10). Move right 2 and up 5, and then plot a point. Use the same rate to plot other points. You could also draw a line through the origin and the two given points. Any point on the line represents an equivalent ratio.

Answer 2

6:15 and 8:20 are examples of additional equivalent ratios.

Explanation:

The table is:

Books (x) Cost (y)

2 5

4 10

From the table, the ratio Books : Cost is 2:5 or 4:10. Equivalent ratios are obtained, using a graph, from the plot of the line that pass through these two points. In the figure attached, this line is shown. There, it can be seen that ratios 6:15 and 8:20 are equivalent to those from the table.
