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

The correct option is:

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

We are given a table as follows:

Hours Distance traveled (miles)

1 60

2 35

3 45

4 65

5 55

6 62

7 12

8 65

Now, when we represent this data by a graph then the x-axis represent the dependent variable and y-axis represent the independent variable.

i.e. x-axis will denote time and as the data is collected in every minute.

Hence, we have to take a increment of 1 on the x-axis.

and also the y-axis denote the miles traveled and must be taken in increment of 5.
