Boris needs 2 novels each month
Let N be the number of novels Boris needs to read in M months
Write an equation relating N to M then graph your equation using the axes below
The equation relating N (the number of novels Boris needs to read) to M (the number of months) can be written as:
N = 2M
Now, let's graph this equation using the axes below:
(Note: I am unable to graph the equation using text format, but I can provide you with the general instructions to graph it on a Cartesian plane.)
1. Draw two axes, one for the x-axis (representing M) and one for the y-axis (representing N).
2. Label the x-axis as "Months (M)" and the y-axis as "Novels (N)".
3. Choose a suitable scale for both axes, making sure to accommodate the values of N and M you want to plot.
4. Plot the coordinates (0, 0), which represent the starting point when M = 0.
5. Connect this point with the point (1, 2), which represents the next month (M = 1) when Boris needs to read 2 novels (N = 2).
6. Continue connecting points in a straight line, with each point representing an increase of one month (M) and an increase of 2 novels (N). For example, the next point will be (2, 4), the point after that will be (3, 6), and so on.
7. Keep extending the line until you've plotted enough points or until it reaches the desired range on the graph.
This will result in a straight line with a positive slope, indicating that the number of novels Boris needs to read (N) increases linearly with the number of months (M).
