This data represents a repeating cycle.
Should the point (0,0) be plotted? Why or why not?
*I'm not sure about this. I don't think it should be but I just want to make sure*
Why would you plot (0, 0) if it is not one of your values?
In this case, the point (0,0) should not be plotted on the graph. The given data represents the average temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit for each month over a repeating cycle. The x-axis represents the months (1-12) while the y-axis represents the average temperatures for each month.
Since the given data does not include a value for month zero (0), there is no corresponding temperature value for the point (0,0). Therefore, plotting the point (0,0) would be inaccurate and misleading.
To plot the data accurately, you should only plot the points that have corresponding temperature values from the given data. In this case, you would plot the points (1, 52), (2, 57), (3, 65), and so on, up to (12, 55).
