Graphing Data on a Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial explores the use of graphs to understand data patterns and trends. It begins with an introduction to data and graphs, followed by practical examples. Mia's electrical bill is graphed to identify cost trends over months. Eric's papaya seed data is analyzed to find the average number of seeds in papayas of a specific weight. Finally, Chen's map reading skills are demonstrated by locating coordinates and understanding directions. The video emphasizes the importance of visual aids in data analysis and problem-solving.

Why is it important to label the axes when creating a graph?

• To ensure the data is accurately represented

• To confuse the viewer

• To make the graph larger

• To make the graph look colorful

What trend did Mia notice in her electrical bill over the months?

• The bill was decreasing

• The bill fluctuated randomly

• The bill remained constant

• The bill was increasing

What is the significance of using increments of 10 on the graph?

• To make the graph more complex

• To make the graph larger

• To simplify the graph and make it manageable

• To confuse the viewer

How many seeds did Eric find on average in a papaya weighing 1.5 pounds?

• 37 seeds

• 34 seeds

• 36 seeds

• 35 seeds

What is the correct order for listing coordinates?

• y, x

• x, y

• z, x

• y, z

Which location is directly south of Chen's house?

• The school

• The park

• The library

• The grocery store

Which location is farther east, the park or the school?
