The average cost of a compact car at a certain dealership over the last 10 years has ranged from $15,000 to $24,500. Suppose you were going to plot these points on a coordinate grid.
(a) What is a good scale (range) would be good to use for the y-axis to make a nicely sized graph?
Explain your reasoning.
(b) What is a good interval (step size] would be good to use for the y-axis to make a nicely sized graph?
Explain your reasoning.
(c) What is a good scale (range) would be good to use for the x-axis to make a nicely sized graph?
Explain your reasoning.
(d) What is a good interval (step size) would be good to use for the x-axis to make a nicely sized graph?
Explain your reasoning.
Note: The step size the distance between the marks on the graph, and the range is the maximum and minimum
values (ex: -10 to 10).
