Class: Constructing graphs Student Activity Sheet 2; Exploring "Representing data" Date Page 2 of 7 3. What do you notice about the vertical axis used in Graph A? How does this affect the way the data are displayed? FA Graph A 24 The 520 16 Benton population in 1000s 12 2002 2004 2008 2008 2010 Year.

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical axis of Graph A represents the year for which the population of Benton is recorded.

Also the axis represents every other year, i.e. 2002, 2004, 2006 and so on.

This implies that the data is recorded for every other year.

Consider the data provided:

Benton population in 1000s             Year

               10                                     2002

               11                                     2004

               12                                     2006

               13                                     2008

               14                                     2010  

For every 2 years the population of Benton is increasing by 1000.

That is for every year the population of Benton is increasing by 500.

If we make the vertical axis using the years:

2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and so on, the graph will remain same with more points to plot.

So, on altering the vertical axis the graph does not changes much.

50*10 is greater

step-by-step explanation:

if you add the zero from 10 to 50, it will give you a bigger number.
