Question

Levi decides to examine the effect of fertilizer on the growth of tomato plants. He chooses four plants for his experiment and applies varying amounts of fertilizer to three of them. He does not apply fertilizer to one plant.

Over a 15-day period, the plants receive fertilizer on Days 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13. Levi measures the height of all of his plants with a meter stick on days 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15. He also makes sure to hold all experimental factors constant except for the fertilizer.

Where should the independent and dependent variables of Levi's experiment be placed when graphed?
Select all that apply.

the amount of fertilizer; y-axis

plant height; y-axis

the amount of fertilizer; x-axis

plant height; x-axis

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Over a 15-day period, the plants receive fertilizer on Days 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13.

Levi measures the height of all of his plants with a meter stick on days 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15.

Independent variable is the amount of fertilizers given to the plants. The height of the plant depends on the amount of the fertilizers. It is the dependent variable.

On x-axis : The amount of fertilizer

On y -axis : Plant height
