Question

Based on the data table below, which number would be the best choice for the highest number of the scale on the horizontal axis of a scatter plot showing this data?

Answer 1

D. 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The input variables are usually plotted on the x-axis (horizontal axis) to show their relationship with the output variables on the y-axis (vertical axis) on a scatter plot.

The input variable in the given table of values is time (s), while the output variable is distance (m).

The highest value for distance is 69. Distance would be plotted on the vertical axis. Therefore, the highest number to have on the vertical axis would be 70.
