Question

1. stem a constellation is a group of stars that form a noticeable pattern in the night sky. it is often named after its form or identified with a mythological figure.

a. graph each point. then connect the points in alphabetical order to form a constellation.
$a(-6, 2)$, $b(-4, 2.5)$, $c(-3, 2)$, $d(-1.5, 1.5)$, $e(-1, 0.5)$, $f(1, 0.5)$, $g(1.5, 2)$
b. which constellation do the points resemble the big dipper or the little dipper?

Explanation:

Step1: Plot all given points

Plot $A(-6, 2)$, $B(-4, 2.5)$, $C(-3, 2)$, $D(-1.5, 1.5)$, $E(-1, 0.5)$, $F(1, 0.5)$, $G(1.5, 2)$ on the coordinate plane.

Step2: Connect points alphabetically

Draw line segments: $A \to B \to C \to D \to E \to F \to G$.

Step3: Compare to Dipper patterns

The shape has a curved "handle" (from $D$ to $F$) and a "bowl" (from $A$ to $C$ to $D$), matching the Little Dipper's compact structure.

Answer:

A. (Coordinate plane with points $A(-6, 2)$, $B(-4, 2.5)$, $C(-3, 2)$, $D(-1.5, 1.5)$, $E(-1, 0.5)$, $F(1, 0.5)$, $G(1.5, 2)$ connected in alphabetical order)
B. The points resemble the Little Dipper.
