question

This table shows the relationship between the outside temperature and the number of visitors at Wax World crayon factory on eight days last year.

solution

Each column in the table describes a day. The top number tells you the temperature, and the bottom number tells you the number of visitors.

Wax World crayon factory
Temperature (ºF)	25	50	60	65	80	85	90	95
Visitors	60	40	30	20	70	30	40	60

Write an ordered pair for each day. Temperature goes on the

x-axis,

so put the outside temperature first. Visitors go on the

y-axis,

so put the number of visitors second.

(25, 60)
(50, 40)
(60, 30)
(65, 20)
(80, 70)
(85, 30)
(90, 40)
(95, 60)

Finally, graph the ordered pairs.
