question

Luna went on 6 bird-watching walks last month. This table shows the relationship between the temperature and the number of birds Luna saw.

Bird watching
Temperature (ºC)	20	13	16	18	19	11
Birds	13	6	12	9	10	15

Make a scatter plot to show the data.

solution

Each column in the table describes a walk. The top number tells you the temperature, and the bottom number tells you how many birds Luna saw.

Bird watching
Temperature (ºC)	20	13	16	18	19	11
Birds	13	6	12	9	10	15

Write an ordered pair for each walk. Temperature goes on the

x-axis,

so put the temperature first. Birds go on the

y-axis,

so put the number of birds second.
