To represent Aaliyahâs book collection over time, we can create a table and a graph that illustrate the relationship between the number of months and the number of books received.
Table
| Months (x) | Books Received (y) | |------------|---------------------| | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 2 | | 2 | 4 | | 3 | 6 | | 4 | 8 | | 5 | 10 | | 6 | 12 |
Explanation:
- At 0 months, Aaliyah has received 0 books (the starting point).
- Each month, she receives 2 books, so we add 2 to the previous total.
Graph
-
Label the Axes:
- X-axis: Label this axis as "Months (x)".
- Y-axis: Label this axis as "Books Received (y)".
-
Plotting the Points:
- (0, 0)
- (1, 2)
- (2, 4)
- (3, 6)
- (4, 8)
- (5, 10)
- (6, 12)
Graph Coordinates
You can plot these points on a Cartesian plane:
- The x-axis will represent the number of months (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
- The y-axis will represent the total number of books (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12).
Graph Representation
- You would see a straight line, starting at the origin (0,0) and sloping upwards with a consistent increase, reflecting the linear relationship: \( y = 2x \).
Feel free to use graph paper or graphing software to visualize the points!
