Your teacher will assign you one of these three points:
- On the coordinate plane, plot and label only your assigned point.
- Graph the proportional relationship that is defined by your point. That is, use a ruler to draw a line that starts at the origin, goes through your point, and continues to the edge of the grid.
-
Use your graph to find the
-value that goes with each of these -values. 2 6 Your teacher will give you a completed table. Use it to check your values.
-
Choose three rows, other than the row that represents the origin, from the completed table. Record the values and compute
for each row. What do you notice about these values? - Write an equation that represents the relationship between
and . -
What is the
-coordinate of your graph when the -coordinate is 1? Plot and label this point on your graph. - Based on your observations, describe any connections you see between the graph, the table, and the equation.
-
Compare your representations with the rest of your group. Discuss what is the same and what is different about:
- Your graphs.
- Your tables.
- Your equations.
