To visualize the relationships you've described, I will help you map out the equations and plot the graphs accordingly.
Graph 1
For the first graph, where the cost \( y \) is proportional to the number of hours \( x \), if the cost is $2 per hour, we have:
\[ y = 2x \]
Points to Plot:
- \( (0, 0) \) at \( x = 0 \)
- \( (1, 2) \) at \( x = 1 \)
- \( (2, 4) \) at \( x = 2 \) (this point is outside of the given range but helps to plot the line)
- \( (3, 6) \) at \( x = 3 \) (this point is also outside of the given range)
Graph Range: \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 6 \) and \( y = 0 \) to \( y = 4 \).
Graph 2
For the second graph, you want points at (0, 2) and (4, 0):
Let's assume a linear relationship connecting these two points.
To find the slope \( m \):
- Points: \( (0, 2) \) and \( (4, 0) \)
- Slope \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{0-2}{4-0} = -\frac{1}{2} \)
Thus, the equation would be:
\[ y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2 \]
Points to Plot:
- \( (0, 2) \)
- \( (4, 0) \)
Graph 3
For the third graph, you have a range where \( y \) goes from -3 to 0 and \( x \) goes from 0 to 6 with the points of \((-1, 2)\) and \((-2, 4)\):
This might represent a different context but assuming you meant points within the range of positive coordinates, a linear equation isn't well-defined. Let's assume a reflective notion to give a straight line through \( (0, -3) \):
You might want:
\[ y = 0 \quad \text{at} \quad x = 0 \]
But let's use the points. It might be a mistake in pairing but a simple line downward.
Graph 4
In graph four, you mention you have points \( (0, -2) \) and \( (1, -4) \) and an endpoint at \( y = 0 \).
Assuming the line connects directly between these two points, it would be:
Calculate the slope:
Points: \( (0, -2) \) and \( (1, -4) \)
\[ m = \frac{-4 - (-2)}{1 - 0} = -2 \]
Equation of the line is:
\[ y = -2x - 2 \]
This describes a line starting from \( x = 0 \).
Summary
To summarize, let’s organize:
- Graph 1: \( y = 2x \) with valid points (0,0), (1,2), (2,4), but should limit \( y \) at 4
- Graph 2: \( y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2 \) with points (0,2) and (4,0)
- Graph 3: Needs better clarification, can assume linear down to the limit you need.
- Graph 4: \( y = -2x - 2 \) will depict a line through the negative.
Notes:
- Graphs should be plotted based on the linear equations derived. Make sure to properly use a graphing tool or graph paper to visualize them collectively.
- The points should be within the right quadrant based on what you’re trying to observe.
