Answer: a) What is a good scale to use for the y axis? -20 units.
(b) What is a good interval to use for the y axis?- 20 units
Explanation:
A family is tracking its spending habits. Over the
past year, the grocery bill has ranged from $120 to $180.
We need to plot these points on a coordinate grid.
If we plot the grocery bills along the y-axis, and past years will be plotted along the x-axis.
So, a) Good scale to use for the y-axis will be
1 scale = 20 units
As 120 and 180 are both divisible by 20.
So, it will be a good scale to use for the y-axis.
b) Good interval to use for the y-axis:
It will be again of 20 units.
