A class is taking a trip to the aquarium. The teacher has received only 2 permission slips for every 5 students in the class. Use the graph.
It’s y1 I already took the test
So -- do you have a question?
To answer this question using the graph, we need to understand what the graph represents and how to interpret it.
First, let's look at the graph provided:
```
5 ≤---|--|---|---|---|---|--|---|---|---|--|---|---|---|--|---|---|---|--|---|---|≥ 15
2 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
4 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
6 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
8 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
10 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
12 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
14 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
0 └---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60
```
The x-axis represents the number of students in the class, ranging from 0 to 60. The y-axis represents the number of permission slips received by the teacher, ranging from 0 to 15.
If we follow the line from 5 students on the x-axis up to the line on the graph, we can see that it intersects with the line representing 2 permission slips. Similarly, if we follow the line from 10 students, it intersects with the line representing 4 permission slips, and so on.
To answer the question of how many permission slips the teacher received, we need to locate the number of students in the class on the x-axis and then find the corresponding number of permission slips on the y-axis where the line intersects.
For instance, if there are 30 students in the class, we can follow the line from 30 on the x-axis up to the graph and see that it intersects with the line representing 8 permission slips on the y-axis.
So, based on the graph, if there are 30 students in the class, the teacher has received 8 permission slips.
