Problem
Jorge's teacher asks him to plot all the ordered pairs of positive integers for which
is the width and
is the length of a rectangle with area 12. What should his graph look like?
Solution
The length of the rectangle will relate invertly to the width, specifically using the theorem . The only graph that could represent a inverted relationship is
. (The rest are linear graphs that represent direct relationships, therefore they are incorrect.)
