Question

A line graph has a vertical axis labeled "Average plant mass (g)^ * and a horizontal axis labeled "Herbicide (g/plant)." What information is conveyed by a point plotted with the coordinates (3, 10) ? Keep in mind coordinates are written as (x-coordinate , y-coordinate).
A. The range average plant mass was from 3 g to 10 g.
B. The average mass of plants exposed to 10 g of herbicide was 3 g.
C. The range of herbicide was from 3 g per plant to 10 g per plant.
D. The average mass of plants exposed to 3 g of herbicide was 10g

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is D. The average mass of plants exposed to 3 g of herbicide was 10g.

Explanation:

As the vertical axis is labelled as average plant mass, it will make the y- coordinate.

As the horizontal axis is labelled as Herbicide (g/plant), it will make the x-axis.

The coordinates for the given value are (3,10). 3 will be the value of the x- coordinate. Hence, it will show the average mass of the plant at the plotted point which will be 3 g.

10 will show the value of the y- coordinate which will be the amount of herbicide given to the plant.

Hence, Dis the correct option.
