Use the tables and image to answer the question.

Option A
x
(megabytes) y
(seconds)
7 2
14 4
21 6
Option B
x
(megabytes) y
(seconds)
8 3
16 6


A graph with the x-axis representing megabytes ranging from 0 to 22 in increments of 1 and the y-axis representing seconds ranging from 0 to 7 in increments of 1 shows three plotted points, 2 for option A and 1 for option B. Option A has the following points: left parenthesis 7 comma 2 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 14 comma 4 right parenthesis. Option B has the following point: left parenthesis 8 comma 3 right parenthesis.

Based on the tables and coordinate plane, identify the missing equivalent ratios from the coordinate plane.

To identify the missing equivalent ratios from the coordinate plane based on the given options, we first analyze the data from both Option A and Option B:

Option A:

  • For 7 megabytes, it takes 2 seconds. \( \frac{7}{2} \)
  • For 14 megabytes, it takes 4 seconds. \( \frac{14}{4} = \frac{7}{2} \)
  • For 21 megabytes, it takes 6 seconds.

Now let's look for equivalent ratios:

  • The ratio of megabytes to seconds for 21 megabytes is \( \frac{21}{6} \).

To check for equivalence with the earlier ratios (\( \frac{7}{2} \)):

  • Simplifying \( \frac{21}{6} = \frac{7}{2} \).

Ratios identified from Option A are:

  1. (21, 6) or \( \left( \frac{21}{6} \right) \)
  2. (7, 2)

Option B:

  • For 8 megabytes, it takes 3 seconds. \( \frac{8}{3} \)
  • For 16 megabytes, it takes 6 seconds.

Now let's look for equivalent ratios:

  • The ratio of megabytes to seconds for 16 megabytes is \( \frac{16}{6} = \frac{8}{3} \), or alternatively \( \frac{8}{3} = \frac{16}{6} \).

Ratios identified from Option B are:

  1. (16, 6) or \( \left( \frac{16}{6} \right) \)
  2. (8, 3)

Missing Equivalent Ratios:

Thus, the missing equivalent ratios from the given options and calculated would be presented in the following ordered pairs format:

(21, 6); (16, 6)

These pairs can represent their respective equivalent ratios based on the previous calculations and the missing points from the graph.
