how do you make a coordinate plane for the function of a person who weighs 130 pounds that burns 300 calories in 1 hour,600 calories in 2 hours,900 calories in 3 hours and 1200 calories in 4 hours
I would make time (t) my horizontal axis marking it up to 5 hours.
Make your vertical axis the calorie axis , marking it as 100 , 200, ... up to 1000 calories.
plot the ordered pairs
(1,300) , (2, 600) , (3, 900) and (4,1200)
you should get a straight line
Notice (0,0) should be on the line, since when you started , zero calories were burned.
To make a coordinate plane for this function, we will plot the number of hours on the x-axis and the number of calories burned on the y-axis.
First, let's list the given data points:
- 1 hour: 300 calories
- 2 hours: 600 calories
- 3 hours: 900 calories
- 4 hours: 1200 calories
Now, let's plot these points on the coordinate plane.
- The first point is (1, 300). This means that after 1 hour, the person burned 300 calories. Plot this point.
- The second point is (2, 600). This means that after 2 hours, the person burned 600 calories. Plot this point.
- The third point is (3, 900). This means that after 3 hours, the person burned 900 calories. Plot this point.
- The fourth point is (4, 1200). This means that after 4 hours, the person burned 1200 calories. Plot this point.
After plotting these four points on the coordinate plane, connect them with a straight line. This line represents the function showing the relationship between the number of hours and the number of calories burned.
Remember to label the x-axis as "Number of Hours" and the y-axis as "Number of Calories Burned".
