Geraldo needs to plot the following four points:
(0.8, 12)
(1.6, 18)
(1, 30)
(2, 3)
Can he plot all of his points on the provided coordinate plane? How do you know?
What would be a point that he couldn't fit on the coordinate plane above? How do you know?
Problem 2
Determine the correct scale for the coordinate grid below so that all of the following points can be shown on it:
(12, 4)
(4,
$${1\over2}$$
)
(6,
$$3{1\over2}$$
)
(12,
$$2{1\over2}$$
)
(17, 4)
(16,
$$4{1\over4}$$
)
