The table shown includes some values of x and their corresponding values of y. Which of the following graphs in the xy-plane could represent the relationship between x and y ?
ExplanationShow
Choice B is correct. Each pair of values shown in the table gives the ordered pair of coordinates for a point that lies on the graph that represents the relationship between x and y in the xy-plane: 
, 
, 
, and 
. Only the graph in choice B passes through the points listed in the table that are visible in the given choices.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. None of these graphs passes through the point .
