The scientist plots the data for tree 2 on a coordinate grid. She begins by plotting data for year 3 and year 11. What are the locations of the two points on the coordinated grid?

Final answer:

Without specific data values, we cannot plot the exact locations of the points for tree 2 in year 3 and year 11. However, in general, the x-axis represents time (years), and the y-axis represents the measured variable (like tree height). Once the specific data is known, the points can be plotted by locating the x-value on the x-axis and then counting up to the corresponding y-value.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the locations of the two data points for tree 2 in year 3 and year 11 on a coordinate grid, we need to know the specific values associated with these two years. However, since the given information does not provide explicit data values for these years, I will outline the process that would be used once the values are known. When plotting data points on a coordinate grid, the x-axis typically represents time or the independent variable, and the y-axis represents the measured variable or the dependent variable.

In this context, years would be placed along the x-axis since they represent time. Each year would be represented by a tick mark on the x-axis. Likewise, the height of the tree, or another measure provided in the data for tree 2, would be plotted along the y-axis. If year 3 corresponds to an x-value of 3 and year 11 an x-value of 11, and if the heights (or other measured data) for year 3 and year 11 are given, those would be the y-values. To plot the points, locate the x-value on the x-axis, then count up to the given y-value for that year and place a point on the grid. Connecting these points may provide a visualization of the growth pattern or other relationship being studied.
