Choose scales for the coordinate plane shown so that you can graph points j(2,40), k(3,10), l(3,-40),m(-4,50) and n(-5,-50). explain why you chose the scale for each axis

The scale of y-axis is  10, and the scale of x-axis is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-coordinates of points J, K,L,M, and N are divisible by 10, so it would be convenient to scale the y-axis to 10, doing so will result in a graph that does not occupy too much space and is therefore easier to read.

The x-coordinates of points J, K,L,M, and N are integers less than 10. Our graph will be easier to read if we scale the x-axis to 1, because then we get a graph whose x-coordinate is marked such that the x values of the points can be easily related.
