Question

An equation is written to represent the relationship between the temperature in Alaska during a snow storm, y, as it relates to the time in hours, x, since the storm started. A graph of the equation is created. Which quadrants of a coordinate grid should be used to display this data? Quadrant 1 only Quadrant 1 and 2 only Quadrant 4 only Quadrant 1 and 4 only

Answer 1

Answer:

quadrent 1 and 4 only

Answer 2

The x axis represents time so it can only have positive values.

That means that the quadrant 2 and quadrant 3 are not used.

Given that the temperature (y-axis) can be positive or negative the values are in the quadrants 1 and 4.

Therefore, the answer is Quadrant 1 and 4 only.
