Answer 1

http://prntscr.com/a23d7u this is my answer choices and question

Answer 2

so how do i find out my right ans??

Answer 3

Look at the other options and see if they are true or false.

A. Sharon selected an incorrect point for the origin.

Is this true or false? Sharon selected (0, 0) for the origin.

Answer 4

x is the independent variable, and y is the dependent variable.
She plotted the independent variable along the x axis, which is correct.

Answer 5

Oh, right..got confused there..lol. Thanks.

Answer 6

so it's c

Answer 7

@mathstudent55 basically already eliminated that option..

Answer 8

oh umm

Answer 9

A. Sharon selected an incorrect point for the origin.

The question already stated that Sharon used (0, 0) for the origin.

Is this statement true or false?

Answer 10

so b and c are not it for sure so it is either d or a. let me sede

Answer 11

It's basically asking..Is (0, 0) the origin?

Answer 12

thats true

Answer 13

What's true?

Answer 14

nope @AnitaS. you're correct
well
yes, Sharon mistook the independent and dependent
if you notice B, B is saying the same thing as C
so B = C really
because one is pointing to mislabeling the x-axis
and the other is pointing to mislabeling the y-axis

which is the same thing
if you mislable the x-axis, as a result, the y-axis will also be mislabeled

Answer 15

so is it c or not?

Answer 16

i'm confused

Answer 17

@jdoe0001 No..it says which one \(\bf bests\) describes it..

Answer 18

This is confusing..it looks like there is more than 1 answer.

Answer 19

i know thats why i am confused too

Answer 20

You should probably just go with the answer you chose originally.

Answer 21

I think the answer should be last one if sharon had chosen upto 4 in x-axis with interval 1 or whatever and y upto 80

Answer 22

That's what I was thinking @baljeet16

Answer 23

Yes that's the answer.

Answer 24

A is completely is wrong.
If B was wrong then C would be wrong too
D is inaccurate. I don't know how to explain why it's wrong but I am pretty sure it is.

Answer 25

D should be the answer if we have taken x-axis upto largest given x value and y-axis upto largest given y value then graph will be plotted into the whole region.

Answer 26

Yeah..that's what I thought originally..the whole thing messed me up.

The points are labeled:
(0, 0), (1, 20), (2, 40), (3, 60), (4, 80)

If she graphed them like this, D would be true, however, she graphed them backwards. (0, 0), (20, 1), (40, 2), (60, 3), (80, 4)

Answer 27

So D is false..

Answer 28

Yes hence why that's the right answer lol.

Answer 29

Where she graphed them backwards? You took incorrectly both x and y.
x is no of ticket sold and y prices.

Answer 30

@AnitaS. you have wrong answer correct it if possible.

Answer 31

ok thank you all for helping me! :D you guys are all awesome! <3333

Answer 32

The answer is clearly choice D.
A. The origin is (0,0), where the x- and y-axes meet. That is correct.

B. She plotted the number of tickets sold along the x-axis. The number of tickets sold is the independent variable, and the independent variable is x. She is correct.

C. She plotted the number of dollars collected along the y-axis. The money is the dependent variable, and it is y. That is correct.

D. She set up a scale along the x-axis up to 10. She set up a scale in the y-axis up to 200.
The largest x-coordinate she has is 4. The largest y-coordinate she has is 80. The graph does not spread out across the entire coordinate plane because she chose the wrong scales. She should have gone only up to 4 on the x-axis, and only up to 80 on the y-axis. She used much larger numbers for both. This is where she made a mistake.
