Step-by-step solution

To determine which table corresponds to the given graph, we'll follow these steps:

  • Extract coordinates from the graph that clearly intersect grid lines for precision.

  • Compare these extracted coordinates with the provided tables to find a match.

  • Ensure consistency across multiple points.

Let's extract some sample points from the graph:
- Observing the graph visually, we can see the following intersection points: (0, 6), (3, 3), and (6, 0). These clearly depict the trend visible in the linear graph.

We will compare these extracted points to the tables:

  • Choice 1: Points are (-5, 0), (-4, 1), (-3, 2). This does not match our points.

  • Choice 2: Points are (8, 10), (6, 6), (4, 2). This does not match our points.

  • Choice 3: Points are (0, 6), (3, 3), (6, 0). This matches exactly with the points from the graph.

  • Choice 4: Points are (0, 0), (2, 3), (4, 2). This does not match our points.

Therefore, the table that matches the graph is the one in Choice 3.

As a result, the solution is that the correct table is from choice 3, which includes the points (0, 6), (3, 3), and (6, 0).

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Point Extraction: Identify precise coordinates where the line crosses grid intersections
  • Pattern Recognition: Linear graph with slope -1: when x increases by 3, y decreases by 3
  • Verification: Check multiple points from graph match table values exactly ✓

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Reading approximate coordinates instead of exact grid intersections
    Don't estimate points like (1, 5.2) from between grid lines = wrong table match! Approximated coordinates don't match any table exactly and lead to incorrect answers. Always use points where the line clearly crosses grid line intersections like (0, 6), (3, 3), (6, 0).

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

How do I know which points to read from the graph?

+

Look for points where the line clearly crosses grid intersections. These give you exact coordinates without guessing. In this graph, (0, 6), (3, 3), and (6, 0) are perfect examples.

What if the line doesn't pass through many grid intersections?

+

Even if you can only find 2-3 exact points, that's enough! Linear relationships are consistent, so matching just a few points confirms the correct table.

Do I need to check every point in the table?

+

No! Check 2-3 clear points from the graph. If they all match one table and don't match the others, you've found your answer.

What does the slope tell me about the table?

+

The slope shows the pattern between x and y values. This graph has slope -1, meaning when x increases by 1, y decreases by 1. Look for this pattern in the tables!

Can I work backwards from the tables to check?

+

Absolutely! Plot a few points from each table mentally or on paper. Only one table's points will line up with the given graph.
