Question

Jorge is making a graph of equivalent ratios. He wants to find a second point on his graph. On a coordinate plane, point (2, 1) is plotted. A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 2, blank, blank. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 1, blank, blank. What steps can he follow to find an ordered pair that represents an equivalent ratio? Using the table, multiply 2 by 1 and 1 by 2. Using the table, multiply 2 and 1 both by 3. Start at point (2, 2) on the grid. Move right 2 and up 2, and then plot a point. Start at point (2, 2) on the grid. Move right 1 and up 2, and then plot a point.

Answer 1

Answer:

  Using the table, multiply 2 and 1 both by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent ratios can be found by multiplying both x and y by the same value.

On a graph, that means you can increase x and y by the same ratio to find any point on the line through the given point and the origin.
