Question

A persons wingspan can be estimated by their height. That relationship is modeled by the function
, where
, the persons wingspan, in centimeters
, is proportional to
, their height in
.
is shown on the coordinate plane.
Complete the statement.
An appropriate label for the
-axis would be
and an appropriate label for the
-axis would be

Answer 1

To complete the statement, we can identify the variables represented on the axes of the coordinate plane based on the information provided:

1. **Y-axis (the vertical axis)**: This represents the person's wingspan \( W \). Therefore, an appropriate label for the Y-axis would be "Wingspan (cm)".

2. **X-axis (the horizontal axis)**: This represents the person's height \( H \). Therefore, an appropriate label for the X-axis would be "Height (cm)".

So the completed statement is:

An appropriate label for the Y-axis would be "Wingspan (cm)" and an appropriate label for the X-axis would be "Height (cm)".
