For many years, the Hudson’s Bay Company in Canada kept records of the number of snowshoe hare and lynx pelts traded each year. It is natural to expect that these values are roughly proportional to the sizes of the populations. Data for odd years between 1861 and 1891 appear in the table, where the number of pelts for lynx, L, and snowshoe hares, H, are shown (both in thousands). Plot the data on an LH-coordinate system, connecting consecutive data points by a segment to create a parametric curve traced out by the data.
