Did you know?
Did you know that graphing on a coordinate plane can help you solve problems like calculating the cost of ribbon? By plotting the cost of different lengths of ribbon on the y-axis and the corresponding lengths of ribbon on the x-axis, you can easily find the cost for any given length. For example, if you plot the points (8, $x) and (11, $y), where x and y represent the costs for 8 and 11 yards of ribbon respectively, you can find the cost for any other length by simply plotting its corresponding point and reading the y-coordinate. Conversely, if you know the cost, you can find the length by reading the x-coordinate. This graphing technique can help you make informed decisions when buying ribbon or other similar items.
