math help please!!?

Letter D said: How does the width of a rectangle change if the length increases, but the area remains 300 square feet, and I came up with when one increases the other decreases, but then letter E said make a graph of(width, length) pairs for a rectangle that give an area of 300 square feet. Explain how your graph illusrates your answer for part d. and so how would you go about graphing that? could you do increments of 5, for the Length, and 60, 30, 20, 15, 12, 10 and so forth for the width, because remember I said that when one increases the other decreases! thanx!!

I would use an x/y axis. If the width is x, the the length is y. You should get a curving descent that approaches both the x and y axes, but never touches either. Or just graph pairs from (1, 300) to (300, 1) on an x/y grid. I would do (1, 300); (2, 150); (3,100); (4, 75); and (5,60) before switching to every five because the change is so dramatic at the ends of the graph. I would also switch each pair so that if you graph (25, 12) you also graph (12, 25.)
