The Graph of a Proportional Relationship | 8.EE.B.5

In this math video we will determine the graph of a proportional relationship. We will review how to read the graphs presented. We will understand x is the horizontal axis and y is the vertical axis. We will understand that given the information and real world situation that (0, 0) is an ordered pair that should be plotted as a point on the line. We will eliminate all graphs that do not begin or pass through the origin. We will then consider the unit rate given in the problem. We will review how to graph the unit rate as an ordered pair. We will determine the graph that represents the real world situation. An exemplar solution is modeled and explained.
