Question

a boat is carrying containers that weigh 1000 pounds each.
(a) use the given information to fill in the table.
number of containers weight (in pounds)
5
7
9
(b) plot the ordered pairs given by the table.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate weight for 5 containers

$5 \times 1000 = 5000$

Step2: Calculate weight for 7 containers

$7 \times 1000 = 7000$

Step3: Calculate weight for 9 containers

$9 \times 1000 = 9000$

Step4: Identify ordered pairs

The ordered pairs are $(5, 5000)$, $(7, 7000)$, $(9, 9000)$. To plot these:

1. On the horizontal axis (number of containers), locate 5, 7, 9.
2. On the vertical axis (weight), locate 5000, 7000, 9000.
3. Mark a point at the intersection of each corresponding pair.

Answer:

Part (a) Completed Table:

Number of containers	Weight (in pounds)
7	7000
9	9000

Part (b) Plotted Points:

Plot the ordered pairs $(5, 5000)$, $(7, 7000)$, and $(9, 9000)$ on the provided coordinate grid, aligning the x-value (number of containers) and y-value (weight) with the corresponding axes.
