3. Draw a graph that models the following statement:
As the temperature increases, the number of cups of hot chocolate sold decreases.
I'm not sure how to draw the graph????? it doesnt make sense to me
Would have been nice to have some data
Your graph would have the temperature on the x-axis
and the number of cups on the y-axis.
Your graph would consist only of the part of the x-y plane that lies above
the x-axis, since you can't have a negative number of cups.
your graph would be a line crossing the y-axis and it would lean to the left, that is, it would have a negative slope.
e.g.
suppose they sold 25 cups when the temperature was 5° C, but only 5 cups when it got
hot at 30° C.
plot (5,25) and (30,5) and join with a straight line. (let each unit on the graph represent a
magnitude of 5)
To draw a graph that models the given statement, you can use a line graph. The x-axis represents the temperature, and the y-axis represents the number of cups of hot chocolate sold.
Here is a step-by-step guide to help you draw the graph:
1. Start by labeling the x-axis as "Temperature" and the y-axis as "Number of Cups of Hot Chocolate Sold" or abbreviate it as "Cups Sold".
2. Choose a suitable scale for both axes. For example, you can mark temperature values from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius on the x-axis and mark the number of cups sold from 0 to 100 on the y-axis.
3. Draw a horizontal line near the bottom of the graph to represent the x-axis and a vertical line on the left side to represent the y-axis.
4. Plot points on the graph to represent the relationship between temperature and the number of cups sold. The points should follow the statement that as the temperature increases, the number of cups of hot chocolate sold decreases.
5. For example, you can start by marking a point (or a circle) at a low temperature (let's say 0 degrees Celsius) and a corresponding number of cups sold (let's say 100 cups).
6. Move to a slightly higher temperature (let's say 10 degrees Celsius) and mark a point with a lower number of cups sold (let's say 80 cups).
7. Continue this process, plotting additional points as the temperature increases and the number of cups sold decreases. Connect these points with a straight line to form the graph.
8. As you move from left to right on the graph, the line should slope downward, indicating the negative relationship between temperature and the number of cups of hot chocolate sold.
Remember, this is just one possible representation of the relationship based on the statement provided. The actual shape and slope of the graph may vary depending on the specific data or assumptions.
To draw a graph that models the given statement, you need to use a type of graph called a scatterplot. A scatterplot is used to show the relationship between two variables. In this case, the variables are temperature and the number of cups of hot chocolate sold.
Here's how you can draw the graph:
1. Start by creating a set of axes. Draw a horizontal line labeled "Temperature" on the x-axis and a vertical line labeled "Cups of Hot Chocolate Sold" on the y-axis. Make sure to leave space at both ends of each axis for labeling.
2. Determine the range of values for each variable. For temperature, choose a range of values that make sense for your scenario, such as 0°F to 100°F. For the number of cups of hot chocolate sold, you can choose any positive values, such as 0 to 100.
3. Plot the data points on the graph. For example, if the temperature is 70°F and 20 cups of hot chocolate are sold, locate the point (70, 20) on the graph by finding the corresponding positions on the x-axis and y-axis and marking it.
4. Repeat step 3 for several different temperature values to create a set of data points. Remember that as the temperature increases, the number of cups of hot chocolate sold decreases. This means that the data points should generally form a downward trend or a negative correlation.
5. Connect the data points with a line or a smooth curve to show the trend. This line or curve represents the relationship between temperature and the number of cups of hot chocolate sold. If the points do not follow a clear pattern, you can use your best judgment to draw an approximate trend line.
Remember, the purpose of the graph is to visually represent the relationship between temperature and the number of cups of hot chocolate sold. It helps you see how the variables change in relation to each other.
