Question

GOVERNMENT For Exercises $42-45$, use the table below that shows the number of members of the U.S. House of Representatives with $30$ or more consecutive years of service in Congress from 1987 to 1999.

$43.$ Graph the relation.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required graph for the given data is:

Step 1 – Definition 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.

Step 2 – Given information.

The table below shows the number of members of the U.S. House of Representatives with $30$ or more consecutive years of service in Congress from $1987 to 1999$.

Step 3 – Graph the given relation.

The ordered pairs for the given data are $\left(1987,12\right),\left(1989,13\right),\left(1991,11\right),\left(1993,12\right),$ $\left(1995,9\right),\left(1997,6\right)$ and $\left(1999,3\right)$. Plot these points on a coordinate plane as shown below:

Thus, the above graph represents the graph of the given relation.
