Q35. - Algebra 2

Question

SPORTS For Exercises $35-37$, use the table that shows the leading home run and runs batted in totals in the American League for $1996-2000$.

$35.$ Make a graph of the data with home runs on the horizontal axis and runs batted in on the vertical axis.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required graph for the given data is:

Step 1 – Graph of a relation.

A relation is the set of ordered pairs $\left(x,y\right)$, where $x$ is the input value and $y$ is the output value. In the graph of a relation, the horizontal axis represents the input values and the vertical axis represents the output values.

Step 2 – Given information.

The table shows the leading home runs and runs batted in totals in the American League for 1996-2000.

Step 3 – Draw the graph for the given data.

It is given that the required graph represents the home runs on the horizontal-axis and runs batted in on the vertical-axis.

 

The ordered pairs for the given data are $\left(52,148\right),\left(56,147\right),\left(56,157\right),\left(48,165\right)$ and $\left(47,145\right)$. Plot these points on a coordinate plan as shown below:

Thus, the above graph is the required graph for the given data.
