When constructing a line graph from a data table, the independent variable is recorded on the axis.
x or y?

When constructing a line graph from a data table, the independent variable is recorded on the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a data table of a line is given then we can write the equation of line in slope intercept form.

The slope intercept form of a line is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

In this situation the value of y is totally dependent on x.  It means variable x is independent and variable y is dependent.

When plot the graph x-values are recorded on the x-axis and y-values are recorded on the y-axis.

Therefore, when constructing a line graph from a data table, the independent variable is recorded on the x-axis.

18 units²

step-by-step explanation:

first let's find altitude bd using the distance formula

d = √((y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²)

bd = √((0 - -3)² + (0 - 3)²)

bd = √18

given the placement of points a and c, we can denote that point d bisects segment ac.

we will call ac the base.

using the distance formula

ac = √((0 - 6)² + (-6 - 0)²)

ac = √72

knowing our base and our height, we can plug these into our triangle area formula

area = (b * h)/2

area = (√18 * √72) / 2

area = (√1296) / 2

area = 36 / 2

area = 18 units²
