Determine Equivalent Ratios Using Graphs
Pick up where we left off
Where we left off
Our goal: With my small group, I can graph the values from a ratio table as points on the coordinate plane — one step at a time, with support.
The big idea: The points from equal ratios form a straight line that passes through the origin (0, 0).
Model to copy — Watch me
- The recipe uses 2 ounces of sauce for every 1 sundae.
- I put sundaes on the x-axis and ounces of sauce on the y-axis.
- For 1 sundae I need 2 ounces, so I plot the ordered pair (1, 2): right 1, up 2.
- For 2 sundaes I need 4 ounces, so I plot (2, 4): right 2, up 4.
- When I connect (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6), they form a straight line through the origin (0, 0).
Start here
You did these with your group. Now do them on your own — the model above is yours to copy.

Same stepsFinish what the group started. Use the model above, step for step.
Let's try together: A recipe uses 1 cup of sugar for every 3 cups of flour. For 1 cup of sugar, the ordered pair is (1, 3): right 1, up 3. For 2 cups of sugar, what is the pair? It is (2, 6): right 2, up 6.My first step is ___ , because the problem asks for ___ .

You answered these out loud. Now write them.
Answer, then say how you know — the reason is the part that counts.

Think it throughThe graph shows 1 taco uses 2 oz of salsa. How much salsa for 15 tacos?
- A30 oz
- B17 oz
- C7.5 oz
- D20 oz
Why is that the answer?
I chose ___ because ___ .
- 6
Think it throughWhy do the points form a straight line through (0, 0)?
- ABecause the quantities are proportional — the same ratio holds for every pair
- BBecause the owner sold the same number of tacos every day
- CBecause all graphs of data are straight
- DBecause salsa is measured in ounces
How do you know?
I chose ___ because ___ .
- 7
Think it throughWhich point would NOT be on this line?
- A(4, 8)
- B(10, 20)
- C(6, 12)
- D(5, 12)
Explain your thinking.
I chose ___ because ___ .

Back to the modelWhat pattern do the plotted points make? How does the graph show the ratio of 1 sundae to 2 ounces of sauce?
Every time the sundaes go up by ___, the ounces go up by ___, so the points line up in a ___ starting from ___.

- Each row of a ratio table becomes one ___ ___ on the coordinate plane.
- The flat grid formed by a horizontal and a vertical number line is the ___.
- A set of two numbers (x, y) that names a point is an ___.

Find the mistakeAnother student made this exact mistake in this lesson. Explain why it is wrong, then write what they should have done.
The mistake: A common mistake in Graph Ratio Tables is writing the ordered pair in the wrong order — putting the second table value first instead of matching (x, y) to the table's column order. - 10
