IXL - Create scatter plots (Algebra 1 practice)

Bakerfield's Farm has pony rides and a bounce house for Fall Fun Fridays. This table shows the number of people who bought pony rides and the number of people who bought bounce house tickets for the past seven weeks.

Fall Fun Fridays
Pony rides	15	20	25	25	40	35	25
Bounce house tickets	20	30	40	30	20	20	25

Make a scatter plot to show the data.

question

Dave makes pasta at an Italian restaurant. This table shows the relationship between the amount of water in a pot and the time it takes to boil.

Boiling water
Water (cups)	1	2	5	6	7	8	9	10
Time (min.)	2	4	10	12	14	16	18	20

Make a scatter plot to show the data.

solution

Each column in the table describes a pot of water. The top number tells you the amount of water, and the bottom number tells you how long it takes to boil the water.

Boiling water
Water (cups)	1	2	5	6	7	8	9	10
Time (min.)	2	4	10	12	14	16	18	20

Write an ordered pair for each pot. Water goes on the

x-axis,

so put the amount of water first. Time goes on the

y-axis,

so put the amount of time it takes to boil the water second.

(1, 2)
(2, 4)
(5, 10)
(6, 12)
(7, 14)
(8, 16)
(9, 18)
(10, 20)

Finally, graph the ordered pairs.
