Question

Suppose you are going to graph the data in the table below. What data should be represented on each axis, and what should the increments be?

Hours Distance traveled (miles)
1 60
2 35
3 45
4 65
5 55
6 62
7 12
8 65 x-axis: miles in increments of 15; y-axis: hours in increments of 5 x-axis: miles in increments of 5; y-axis: hours in increments of 1 x-axis: hours in increments of 5; y-axis: miles in increments of 15 x-axis: hours in increments of 1; y-axis: miles in increments of 5

Answer 1

x-axis: hours in increments of 1; y-axis: miles in increments of 5

You always want the constant numbers such as time on the x-axis
And since your y values are all large numbers and multiples of 5, it makes sense to use increments of 5
