A. (3, 27)    B. (18,3)    C. (9,18)     D.(45, 5)

 

 

 

Please explain your answer

Answer 1

Hi Brianna, the time appears to be multiples of 9. Therefore, the table would be 9, 18, 27, 36, 45.

 

The distance appears to be in units of 1. Therefore, the distance table would be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

 

For an ordered pair, you would have to first select whether the time or distance would represent the x-values. Which one you pick makes the other one the y-values.

 

If we let distance represent the x-values, then A, (3, 27) would be an ordered pair.

 

If we let time represent the x-values, then D, (45, 5) would be an ordered pair.
