Mathematics Question on Introduction to Graphs
Use the tables below to draw linear graphs.
(a) The number of days a hill side city received snow in different years.Year | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Days | 8 | 10 | 5 | 12 |
(b) Population (in thousands) of men and women in a village in different years.
Year | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Number of men | 12 | 12.5 | 13 | 13.2 | 13.5 |
Number of women | 11.3 | 11.9 | 13 | 13.6 | 12.8 |
Answer
(a) By taking the years on x−axis and the number of days on y−axis and taking scale as 1 unit = 2 days
on y−axis and 2 unit = 1 year on x−axis, the linear graph of the given information can be drawn as follows.
(b) By taking the years on x−axis and population on y−axis and scale as 1 unit = 0.5 thousand on y−axis and 2 unit = 1 year on x−axis, the linear graph of the given information can be drawn as follows.
