Question

Dixon wants to rent a tuxedo for a wedding. The data below shows the cost of renting a tuxedo, y, in dollars, for x hours.

Number of Hours (x) 1 2 5 7 9

Total Cost, $ (y) 80 110 200 260 320

Which grid has the best x-axis and y-axis scales to present this data?

Answer 1

the first one  (graph) is correct

Answer 2

The correct option is 1.

Explanation:

The given data is

Number of Hours (x): 1 2 5 7 9

Total Cost, $ (y) : 80 110 200 260 320

It means the value of x lie from 1 to 9 and the value of y lie from 80 to 320.

In option 1,

`X_(max)=10`

`Y_(max)=400`

It means all the given lie in this grid. Therefore option 1 is correct.

In option 2,

`X_(max)=10`

`Y_(max)=250`

It means the data 260 and 320 do not lie in this grid. Therefore option 2 is incorrect.

In option 3,

`X_(max)=5`

`Y_(max)=400`

It means the data 7 and 9 do not lie in this grid. Therefore option 3 is incorrect.

In option 4,

`X_(max)=400`

`Y_(max)=10`

It means the data point do not lie in this grid. Therefore option 4 is incorrect.
