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

For the given table The distance traveled will depend on the number of hours.
So, the hours will be the independent variable ⇒⇒⇒ x-axis
and the distance traveled will be the dependent variable ⇒⇒ y-axis

While the hours is varied from 1 to 8, the best increments will be 1
and while the most of distance traveled is divisible by 5, the increment is 5

So, the correct answer is option (4)
x-axis: hours in increments of 1; y-axis: miles in increments of 5

This does not make sense
