Question

a cat and a squirrel traveled at constant rates. keep going. plot the last 2 points to represent the distance the cat traveled after 6 seconds and 9 seconds. cat distance traveled (ft) elapsed time (sec) 0 0 4 3 8 6 12 9

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the coordinates for 6 seconds

From the table, at 6 seconds, the distance traveled by the cat is 8 ft. So the coordinate is (8, 6) (since x - axis is distance in ft and y - axis is elapsed time in sec).

Step2: Identify the coordinates for 9 seconds

From the table, at 9 seconds, the distance traveled by the cat is 12 ft. So the coordinate is (12, 9).

Step3: Plot the points

On the given graph, find the x - value (distance) 8 and y - value (time) 6, mark the point (8, 6). Then find x - value 12 and y - value 9, mark the point (12, 9).

Answer:

To plot the points for the cat's travel:

• For 6 seconds (elapsed time) and 8 ft (distance), plot the point at (x = 8, y = 6) on the graph.
• For 9 seconds (elapsed time) and 12 ft (distance), plot the point at (x = 12, y = 9) on the graph.
