Question

BASKETBALL After Game 1, Felicia had scored 14 points. After Game 5, she had scored a total of 82 points for the season. After Game 10, she had scored 129 points. Graph the data with the game number on the horizontal axis and the number of points on the vertical axis. Connect the points using two different line segments.

Answer 1

Let  $p$ represents the number of points scored in $n$ number of games.

So, the graph, the number of games, n is on the horizontal axis and the points scored, p, is on the vertical axis.

After Game 1, the point scored is 14,

so, the first point, $P_1$, on the graph is

$P_1=(1,14)$

After Game 5, the point scored is 82,

so, the second point, $P_2$, on the graph is

$P_2=(5,82).$

After Game 10, the point scored is 129,

so, the second point, $P_2$, on the graph is

$P_2=(10,129)$

First, represent all the three points, $P_1, P_2$ and $P_3$, on the graph, then connect $P_1- P_2$ and $P_2 - P_3$ as shown in the figure.
