Question

during a school fundraiser, the amount raised over 12 weeks ranged from $150 to $950.
what is the most appropriate scale and origin to graph the weekly fundraising?
drag and drop the correct values and words to complete the sentence.
the origin should begin at
the x - axis can be scaled for
the y - axis can be scale for
:: $200 per line :: 1 week per mark :: (0,0) :: $100 per line

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the origin

The origin of a graph is the point \((0,0)\). It is the starting point for both axes.

Step2: Determine the \(x -\)axis scale

The \(x -\)axis represents weeks. Since we are dealing with weekly data over 12 weeks, a scale of 1 week per mark is appropriate.

Step3: Determine the \(y -\)axis scale

The amount raised ranges from \(\$150\) to \(\$950\). A scale of \(\$100\) per line is better. If we use \(\$200\) per line, the range from \(150\) to \(950\) (difference \(950 - 150=800\)) would have only \(800\div200 = 4\) intervals, which is too few. With \(\$100\) per line, \(800\div100=8\) intervals, which is more suitable for visualizing the data.

Answer:

The origin should begin at \((0,0)\). The \(x -\)axis can be scaled for 1 week per mark. The \(y -\)axis can be scale for \(\$100\) per line.
