A line graph is titled as Runner A, Average Miles per Minute. The x-axis is labeled Minutes ranging from 0 to 36 in increments of 6. The y-axis is labeled Miles ranging from 0 to 4 in increments of 1. A solid line joins four plotted points. The coordinates of the plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 12 comma 1 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 24 comma 2 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 36 comma 3 right parenthesis.
The line graph titled "Runner A, Average Miles per Minute" shows the relationship between time (in minutes) and the average number of miles Runner A runs per minute.
The x-axis represents the time in minutes, ranging from 0 to 36, with increments of 6. This means that the x-axis has the following values: 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36.
The y-axis represents the average number of miles Runner A runs per minute, ranging from 0 to 4, with increments of 1. This means that the y-axis has the following values: 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
The four plotted points on the graph are as follows:
- (0,0): This means that at time 0 minutes, Runner A runs 0 miles per minute.
- (12,1): This means that at time 12 minutes, Runner A runs 1 mile per minute.
- (24,2): This means that at time 24 minutes, Runner A runs 2 miles per minute.
- (36,3): This means that at time 36 minutes, Runner A runs 3 miles per minute.
A solid line joins these four plotted points, connecting them on the graph.
To create a line graph with the given information, follow these steps:
Step 1: Draw the x and y axis
- Label the x-axis as "Minutes" with increments of 6 (0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36).
- Label the y-axis as "Miles" with increments of 1 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4).
Step 2: Plot the points
- Plot the first point at (0, 0).
- Plot the second point at (12, 1).
- Plot the third point at (24, 2).
- Plot the fourth point at (36, 3).
Step 3: Connect the points
- Draw a solid line connecting all four plotted points.
Step 4: Add a title and axis labels
- Add a title to the graph: "Runner A, Average Miles per Minute".
- Label the x-axis as "Minutes".
- Label the y-axis as "Miles".
Step 5: Add gridlines (optional)
- Add gridlines to make it easier to read the values on the graph.
- Draw horizontal gridlines at each y-axis increment (0, 1, 2, 3, 4).
- Draw vertical gridlines at each x-axis increment (0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36).
Your completed line graph should have the x-axis labeled "Minutes" with increments of 6, the y-axis labeled "Miles" with increments of 1, a solid line connecting the plotted points (0, 0), (12, 1), (24, 2), (36, 3), and a title at the top of the graph saying "Runner A, Average Miles per Minute".
