A football player runs the ball from the 20-yard line on one side of the field to the 20-yard line on the other side. How many yards did the player run?
The player ran a total of 60 yards (20 yards on one side + 20 yards on the other side + 20 yards down the middle).
Choose the coordinate pair to plot on the coordinate plane so the ratio stays equivalent.

(3,16)
(7,36)
(0,0)
(4,20)
To make sure the ratio stays equivalent, we need to make sure the ratio of the y-coordinate to the x-coordinate is the same for both points.
Let's calculate the ratio for each option:
1. For (3,16):
16/3 = 5.33
2. For (7,36):
36/7 = 5.14
3. For (0,0):
0/0 is undefined.
4. For (4,20):
20/4 = 5
Based on these calculations, the coordinate pair (4, 20) would be the best option to plot on the coordinate plane so the ratio stays equivalent.
