Math Project: Graphs!
By: Hailey Williams
Story Problem:
Hailey is a professional 3 point shooter. Say Hailey can shoot at a steady rate of 4 shoots every 1 minute.
Matching the definitions to what we know:
My dependent variable is A {how many shots she makes}
My independent variable is M {number of minutes shooting}
My constant is 4 shots
Definitions:
~ Dependent Variable: is the variable that is DEPENDENT on the quantity of the independent variable.
~ Constant: is the quantity that NEVER changes.
~ Independent variable: is the quantity that is depended on by the quantity of the dependent variable.
Equation time!
Based on the information that we just stated, the equation that matches this problem is:
M*4=A
The name of the graph is: Hailey's Record Shot Out!
X and Y axis
The Y axis is the number of minutes. The X axis is the number of shots made.
The story behind the graph:
As Hailey was shooting the people timed her shots and pushed the clicker each time Hailey shot. The person ended up pushing the clicker 4 times every 1 minute.
