Question

The table below shows the air temperature in degrees Celsius at different altitudes in kilometers:

Altitude (kilometers) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Temperature (degrees Celsius) 8.5 2 −4.5 −11 −17.5 −24 −30 −37 −43.5


Which scatter plot best represents the data in the table?
A
B
C
D

Answer 1

3rd graph took the test

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The third graph.

The difference between temperatures for every increase (1km) in altitude is consistent (6.5), meaning that it is a straight line.

Then, you would have to match the x and y values on the charts to the coordinates on the graph. Ex: (8.5, 1), (2, 2), (-4.5, 3) etc.
