Question

Choose scales for the coordinate plane shown so that you can graph the points J(2,40), K(3,10), L (3 -40) M(-4, 50), and N(-5, -50) Explain why you chose the scale for each axis.

Answer 1

I would use a scale of one for the x axis and a scale of ten for the y axis. The y values are quite high and all divisible by ten, The x values have little range and are all multiples of 1.
