1 EXAMPLE 1 Making a Scatter Plot NASA NASA’s Crawler Transporter is a large vehicle that moves the space shuttle and its launch platform to the launch pad. The crawler uses about 126 gallons of fuel to travel 1 mile. The table below shows the amount of fuel, in gallons, that is used to travel different numbers of miles. How can you present this information using a graph?

2 EXAMPLE 1 Making a Scatter Plot Make a scatter plot of the data given above. SOLUTION STEP 1 Plot the ordered pairs from the table. (1, 126), (2, 252), (3, 378), (4, 504), (5, 630), (6, 756) STEP 2 Label the horizontal and vertical axes. Put Distance (mi ) on the horizontal axis and Fuel used (gal) on the vertical axis.

3 GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 1 1. Make a scatter plot of the data.

4 GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 1 2. Make a scatter plot of the data.
