PSSA Math Grade 5 Practice Test 3

Selena is using a coordinate grid to graph information about the last few baseball games in which she pitched.
• The x-coordinate of each point she graphs is the number of runs she allowed.
• The y-coordinate of each point she graphs is the number of strikeouts she recorded.
Which statement about Selena’s graph is true?

• A point other than the origin graphed on the x-axis means Selena allowed no runs.
• A point graphed at (2, 3) means Selena allowed 3 runs and recorded 2 strikeouts.
• A point other than the origin graphed on the y-axis means Selena recorded at least one strikeout.
• A point graphed at (3, 4) means Selena allowed 1 more run than the number of strikeouts recorded.
