To go out on a date Jason takes $65. The first hour he wastes
$9, the second he wastes $12, the third he wastes $17. The
last three hours he wastes no money. Create a graph showing this scenario.
We can't show graphs here.
an equation?
To create a graph showing this scenario, we will use a line graph. The horizontal axis will represent the hours spent on the date, and the vertical axis will represent the amount of money Jason wastes.
First, let's create a table to organize the data:
| Hours | Amount Wasted |
|---------|--------------:|
| 1 | $9|
| 2 | $12|
| 3 | $17|
| 4 | $0|
| 5 | $0|
| 6 | $0|
Now, on the graph, we will mark each point corresponding to the hours and amount wasted.
- For the first hour, mark a point at (1, $9).
- For the second hour, mark a point at (2, $12).
- For the third hour, mark a point at (3, $17).
- For the last three hours (4, 5, 6), mark points at ($0, $0) since Jason doesn't waste any money during these hours.
Now, connect the points with straight lines. The line connecting (1, $9), (2, $12), and (3, $17) will be a diagonal line going up. The points (4, $0), (5, $0), and (6, $0) will be connected with horizontal lines.
By connecting the points with lines, you will have a line graph representing the scenario where Jason wastes money on his date.
