Graphing Data
You will need:

A length of rope
A metre stick or ruler
Graph paper

Instructions:

Measure the length of your rope

Tie a knot in the rope. Measure the length of the rope with the
not

Number of
Knots
Length of
Rope (cm)
Repeat this process until you have 10 knots in your rope. Try to

tie the knots so they are the same size and the same tightness.
Record the number of knots and the length of the rope in the
table below

Graph the data on the graph paper

1. How did you determine on which axis to plot each variable?
2. Did you join the points? Justify your answer
Based on your graph
3. Is the length of rope a function of the number of knots?
Explain
4. What is the domain and range of your graph?
Get together with another group
o Write their data points on your graph in a different colour
5. How does it compare with your original plot?

When you are finished hand in this paper, the graph that was made,
and the answers to the five questions asked above.
