Answer 1

Suppose you are going to graph the data in the table below. What data should be represented on each axis, and what would be the appropriate increments? (2 points)

Year Profit
2003 $100,000
2004 $55,000
2005 −$45,000
2006 $110,000
2007 $330,000
2008 $800,000
2009 $242,000
2010 −$11,000
2011 $285,000




x-axis: years in increments of 1; y-axis: profit in increments of $50,000
x-axis: profit in increments of $50,000; y-axis: years in increments of 1
x-axis: years in increments of 1; y-axis: profit in increments of $200,000
x-axis: profit in increments of $200,000; y-axis: years in increments of 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

Well, obviously "years in increments of 1" is correct since the years increase bu increments of 1.
Next, remember independent variables go on the x axis, and dependent variables go on the y axis.

Answer 4

The amount of money is dependent on the year. Therefore, years (independent) would go on the x axis, and money (dependent) goes on the y. Make sense?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

So that means B and D are wrong.
Now let's analyze A and C...

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

Honestly, determining increments of variables can be a bit tricky for me, but in the past I was taught just to choose whatever makes the most sense to you. So I personally would say 50,000 increments.
Is there a particular way your teacher taught you to solve this? (each one generally has their own methods)

Answer 9

I think of it this way. Choose the one which will allow you to plot your points easily while not taking up too much (excessive) space on your graph.

Answer 10

So I would choose "x-axis: years in increments of 1; y-axis: profit in increments of $50,000".

Answer 11

oh ok
