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

Ax-axis: years in increments of 1; y-axis: profit in increments of $50,000
Bx-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

Verified Answer :

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

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.
