Question

Suppose you are going to graph the data in the table: Minutes Temperature (°C) 0 −2 1 1 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 −4 6 2 7 −3 What data should be represented on each axis, and what should the axis increments be?

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Minutes            Temperature

 0                          -2

  1                           1

  2                          3

  3                          4

  4                          5

 5                           -4

 6                           2

  7                          -3

Minutes should be graphed on x - axis as it repeatedly increases by 1 and seems to be independent. (Remember the independent variable is on x-axis). The axis increment should be one as told before, that the terms are increasing by 1.

Now, Temperature should e graphed on y-axis because it seems to depend on Minutes. The axis increment should also be 1 for this as although, it not increasing by 1 but still at some points increases by 1. So, the axis increment should be 1 for Temperature.
