Question

Suppose you are going to graph the data in the table below. What data should be represented on each axis, and what would be the appropriate increments?
Year Profit
2003 $100,000
2004 $55,000
2005 −$45,000
2006 $110,000
2007 $330,000
2008 $800,000
2009 $242,000
2010 −$11,000
2011 $285,000

a. x-axis: years in increments of 1; y-axis: profit in increments of $50,000
b. x-axis: profit in increments of $50,000; y-axis: years in increments of 1
c.x-axis: years in increments of 1; y-axis: profit in increments of $200,000
d.x-axis: profit in increments of $200,000; y-axis: years in increments of 1

Answer 1

Normally, time is the x axis and profit is y axis
so that takes out B and D
hmm, ok increments
since the biggest change is 200 or something
most of the changes are small, so I would do changes of the 50000



A is asnwer

Answer 2

The given table is representing Profits for the given years. The independent variable is represented on x axis and on y axis dependent variable is taken .Years of increment is the independent variable and profit is the dependent variable .Year is represented on the x axis while profit will be represented on y axis. The appropriate profit in increments is  $50,000

Among all the given options Option a)x-axis: years in increments of 1; y-axis: profit in increments of $50,000  is the correct answer.
