Question

Uppose you are going to graph the data in the table:

Minutes Temperature (°C)
1 −2
2 5
3 10
4 24
5 35
6 22
7 6
8 −8


What data should be represented on each axis, and what should the axis increments be?
x‒axis: minutes in increments of 1; y-axis: temperature in increments of 5
x‒axis: minutes in increments of 5; y-axis: temperature in increments of 1
x‒axis: temperature in increments of 5; y-axis: minutes in increments of 1
x‒axis: temperature in increments of 1; y-axis: minutes in increments of 5

Answer 1

Explanation:

The x-values are increments of 1, so consider either the 1st or the 4th possible answers. We are measuring temperature, so the 1st answer is the correct one; temperature is changing, but much faster than in increments of 1.
