Answer 1

Time is most frequently the independent variable. It should go on the x axis. This question is no exception.

The account balance is the dependent variable and should go on the y axis.

You can only pick one of these and a couple are absurd. Time goes on the x axis and the account balance goes on the y. We care nothing about what the interest rate creating the increase.

The answer is C

Answer 2

Answer:

option C is correct, i.e. To graph the relationship, time should be placed on the x-axis, and the account balance should be placed on the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}Time&Balance\\5&\ 5,457.20\\10&\ 5,956.21\\15&\ 6,500.84\\20&\ 7,095.28\\25&\ 7,744.07\end{array}\right]$

We see that Time is the independent variable, its value is independent of anything. Also, Account Balance is the dependent variable, it's value depends upon the time after initial deposit.

We plot independent variables on x-axis and dependent variables on y-axis, So we must place Time on x-axis and Account Balance on y-axis.

Hence, option C is correct i.e. To graph the relationship, time should be placed on the x-axis, and the account balance should be placed on the y-axis.
