Choose an appropriate scale for each axis and plot the following points on the grid provided (20,0) (-8,4) (12,-12) (0,-16) one unit on the x-axis equals , one unit on the y-axis equals

The first thing we have to do is identify the maximum and minimum values for x and y:
• x-max = 20
,• x-min = -8
• y-max = 4
,• y- min = -16
The second thing to take into account is how many separations our grid has in x and y
• In this case, it has 5 separations on both sides for both the x-axis and the y-axis.
We look for the furthest value from each of the axes and divide it into 5 to see how much the separation between them should be:
• x-Axis
[tex]\frac{20}{5}=4[/tex]• y-Axis
[tex]\frac{16}{5}=3.2\approx4[/tex]Then each of our separations will be worth 4 for both the x-axis and the y-axis. and we proceed to graph our points
