Learning target 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.

Remember3.4 Small Group · Group 1

Each row of a ratio table becomes a point (x, y). Points from equivalent ratios form a straight line through the origin. Each row of a ratio table is an ordered pair (x, y) we can plot on a coordinate plane.

Words: Coordinate plane (Plano cartesiano)Ordered pair (Par ordenado)Linear pattern (Patrón lineal)Proportional (Proporcional)Origin (Origen)

    Rice (cups)Water (cups)________________

    A recipe uses 4 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice. Rice is x and water is y. What is the y-value of the point for 2 cups of rice?

    Show your work

    Hint Each cup of rice needs 4 cups of water. Find 2 × 4.

    PacksJuice boxes________________

    Each pack has 3 juice boxes. Packs are x and juice boxes are y. What is the y-value of the point for 4 packs?

    Show your work

    Hint Multiply the packs by 3.

    Time (hours)Distance (mi)________________

    A car goes 30 miles each hour. Hours are x and miles are y. What is the y-value of the point for 3 hours?

    Show your work

    Hint Each hour adds 30 miles. Multiply the hours by 30.

    x-valuey-value________________

    The point (4, 6) is on a graph of equivalent ratios. The line goes through (0, 0). What is the x-value of the point with y = 12?

    Show your work

    Hint What do you multiply 6 by to get 12? Do the same to 4.

    Final answer:

Explain your thinkingWhy does the graph of pizzas and slices go through (0, 0)? Why do the points make a straight line?

Sentence starter The line goes through (0, 0) because ___ pizzas have ___ slices. · The points make a straight line because each pizza adds ___.
