A snail moving at a constant rate traveled a distance of 2 feet in
1/2 hour. Create a graph to represent y, the number of feet the snail traveled in x hours.
Select two points on the coordinate grid. A line will connect the two points.
To create the graph, we can plot the points (x, y) where x represents the number of hours and y represents the number of feet the snail traveled.
Let's choose two points on the graph:
- Point 1: (0, 0) - This represents the beginning when the snail hasn't moved yet.
- Point 2: (0.5, 2) - This represents the snail traveling 2 feet in 1/2 hour.
We can now plot these two points on the coordinate grid and connect them with a line.
Sorry, I'm slow, so what are the points?
No problem! The two points we can plot on the graph are:
Point 1: (0, 0)
Point 2: (0.5, 2)
Now, we can plot these points on the coordinate grid and connect them with a line.
