Answer:
The correct option is;
C. The panthers lost 3 yards on the 3rd play
Explanation:
Given that the graph's y-axis represents the number of yards the Panthers traveled, and the x-axis represents the play number, then we have;
The coordinates of the point A are (3, -3) which shows the following;
x-coordinate = Number of play = 3rd play
y-coordinate = Number of yards the Panthers traveled = -3 yards = Loss of 3 yards
The combined meaning of the point A is that the Panthers went back (lost) 3 yards on the 3rd play.
