Based on the data values given in the table:
- At 0 hours, the temperature is 2 degrees Celsius (point (0, 2)).
- At 1 hour, the temperature is −1 degrees Celsius (point (1, -1)).
- At 2 hours, the temperature is −4 degrees Celsius (point (2, -4)).
- At 3 hours, the temperature is −7 degrees Celsius (point (3, -7)).
The correct set of plotted points in the coordinate plane is:
- (0, 2)
- (1, -1)
- (2, -4)
- (3, -7)
Therefore, the first response that describes the coordinate plane properly is:
A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and y-axis ranging from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Four points are plotted. The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 0 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma negative 1 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma negative 4 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 3 comma negative 7 right parenthesis.
This accurately represents the temperature data against hours.
