Explanation:
Let’s go through each question one by one, using the line graph. Remember:
- Red line = Henry
- Blue line = Chris
- X-axis = Year (2010 to 2014)
- Y-axis = Number of coins collected
Question 1: How many coins were collected in 2014 by Henry?
Find year 2014 on the x-axis. Go up to the red point (Henry). Read the y-value. The red point in 2014 is at 15.
→ Answer: 15
Question 2: How many coins were collected by Chris in 2013?
Find year 2013 on x-axis. Go up to the blue point (Chris). The blue point is at 5.
→ Answer: 5
Question 3: Did the number of coins collected increase or decrease between 2012 and 2013 for Chris?
Chris in 2012: blue point is at 30
Chris in 2013: blue point is at 5
30 → 5 is a drop. So it decreased.
→ Answer: decrease
Question 4: Did Henry and Chris collect an equal # of coins in any 1 year?
Check each year:
- 2010: Henry = 30, Chris = 20 → not equal
- 2011: Henry = 25, Chris = 40 → not equal
- 2012: Henry = 35, Chris = 30 → not equal
- 2013: Henry = 10, Chris = 5 → not equal
- 2014: Henry = 15, Chris = 10 → not equal
No year has the same value.
→ Answer: no
Question 5: Which person collected the greater number of coins in 2012?
2012:
Henry (red) = 35
Chris (blue) = 30
35 > 30, so Henry collected more.
→ Answer: Henry
Final Answer:
1) 15
2) 5
3) decrease
4) no
5) Henry
