To make a scatter plot from the table, we need to turn each pair of numbers into a point on the graph.
Step 1: Understand the Axes
* The horizontal axis (x-axis) represents
Glass.
* The vertical axis (y-axis) represents
Plastic.
* This means for every data point, the first number (Glass) tells you how far right to go, and the second number (Plastic) tells you how far up to go.
Step 2: Identify the Coordinates
Let's list the pairs from the table as $(x, y)$ coordinates:
1. Glass: 24, Plastic: 30 $\rightarrow$ Point:
(24, 30)
2. Glass: 36, Plastic: 25 $\rightarrow$ Point:
(36, 25)
3. Glass: 30, Plastic: 35 $\rightarrow$ Point:
(30, 35)
4. Glass: 42, Plastic: 25 $\rightarrow$ Point:
(42, 25)
5. Glass: 30, Plastic: 40 $\rightarrow$ Point:
(30, 40)
6. Glass: 18, Plastic: 20 $\rightarrow$ Point:
(18, 20)
Step 3: Plot the Points
Now, locate these positions on the grid provided in your tool:
*
Point 1 (24, 30): Find 24 on the bottom axis (it is halfway between 18 and 30). Go straight up to the line labeled 30. Click there.
*
Point 2 (36, 25): Find 36 on the bottom axis (halfway between 30 and 42). Go straight up to the middle of the square between 20 and 30 (which is 25). Click there.
*
Point 3 (30, 35): Find 30 on the bottom axis. Go straight up to the middle of the square between 30 and 40 (which is 35). Click there.
*
Point 4 (42, 25): Find 42 on the bottom axis. Go straight up to the level of 25 (halfway between 20 and 30). Click there.
*
Point 5 (30, 40): Find 30 on the bottom axis again. Go straight up to the line labeled 40. Click there.
*
Point 6 (18, 20): Find 18 on the bottom axis. Go straight up to the line labeled 20. Click there.
Final Answer:
The scatter plot should contain the following 6 points plotted at these coordinates:
(24, 30), (36, 25), (30, 35), (42, 25), (30, 40), and (18, 20).
