The elevation of a submarine is shown in the table. In the applet below, draw and label coordinate axes with an appropriate scale and plot the points.
The inequalities and represent the height requirements for an amusement park ride, where represents a person's height in inches. Write a sentence or draw a sign below that describes these rules as clearly as possible.
If you choose, draw your sign here.
The x-axis represents the number of hours before or after noon, and the y-axis represents the temperature in degrees Celsius.
At 9 a.m., it was below freezing. In what quadrant would this point be plotted?
At 11 a.m., it was . In what quadrant would this point be plotted?
Choose another time and temperature. Then tell the quadrant where the point should be plotted.
What does the point represent in this context?
