Graph the propositional relationship y = 2x by plotting points.

Options
Graph one Dot (1,4)

Graph 2 Dot 1 (1,3) Dot 2 (2,6)

Graph 3 Dot 1 (2,1)

Graph 4 Dot 1 (1,2) Dot 2 (2,4)

1 answer

To graph the propositional relationship \( y = 2x \), we can plot points by substituting values for \( x \) and calculating the corresponding \( y \) values.

  1. For \( x = 0 \): \[ y = 2(0) = 0 \quad \text{(Point: (0,0))} \]

  2. For \( x = 1 \): \[ y = 2(1) = 2 \quad \text{(Point: (1,2))} \]

  3. For \( x = 2 \): \[ y = 2(2) = 4 \quad \text{(Point: (2,4))} \]

  4. For \( x = 3 \): \[ y = 2(3) = 6 \quad \text{(Point: (3,6))} \]

Now we can compare these calculated points with the options provided:

  • Option 1: Graph one Dot (1,4) - Incorrect, since \( y \) when \( x = 1 \) should be 2.

  • Option 2: Graph 2 Dot 1 (1,3) Dot 2 (2,6) - Incorrect, as the correct values are \( (1,2) \) and \( (2,4) \).

  • Option 3: Graph 3 Dot 1 (2,1) - Incorrect, since \( y \) when \( x = 2 \) is 4.

  • Option 4: Graph 4 Dot 1 (1,2) Dot 2 (2,4) - Correct! The points plotted here match the function.

Therefore, the correct option to represent the relationship \( y = 2x \) by plotting points is Option 4: Dot 1 (1,2) and Dot 2 (2,4).
