Question 22 • Algebra II

How could the graph be redrawn so that the difference in monthly electric cost does not appear as great?

Answer
A
The interval on the y -axis could be changed to count by 1 s.
B
The scale on the y -axis could be changed to 100 - 120 .
C
The interval on the y -axis could be changed to count by 20 s.
D
The scale on the y -axis could be changed to 0 - 150 .

Explanation

To make the difference between monthly electric costs look smaller, use a wider y-axis scale that starts at zero. A scale from 0 to 150 gives the differences less visual emphasis than a narrow scale such as 100 to 120, which would make them look larger. So the graph could be redrawn with a y-axis scale of 0–150.
