Will give brainliest if correct! ]

suppose you are going to graph the data in the table.

minutes temperature (°c)

0 -2

1 1

2 3

3 4

4 5

5 -4

6 2

7 -3

what data should be represented on each axis, and what should the axis increments be?

a: x-axis: minutes in increments of 1; y-axis: temperature in increments of 5

b: x-axis: temperature in increments of 5; y-axis: minutes in increments of 1

c: x-axis: minutes in increments of 1; y-axis: temperature in increments of 1

d: x-axis: temperature in increments of 1; y-axis: minutes in increments of 5

Option: C is the correct answer.

C:   x-axis: minutes in increments of 1; y-axis: temperature in increments of 1

As we know that x-axis is used to denote the independent variable and y-axis is used to represent the dependent variable.

In the given question the temperature is recorded over a period of time.

This means that the x-axis will represent the time in minutes and y-axis will represent the temperature.

Also, we are given a table as:

Minutes      Temperature (°C)

  0                       -2

   1                         1

   2                        3

   3                        4

   4                        5

   5                       -4

   6                        2

   7                       -3

Hence, we see that the minutes are increasing by every 1 unit and the temperature also has a very small change and are integers, so we will give a increment of 1 in the y-axis as well.

By doing so the graph would be clear and easily understood.

            Hence, the answer is:

       C:   x-axis: minutes in increments of 1; y-axis: temperature in increments of 1

a is the correct

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
