In this scenario, Andre and Kara are asking people to donate items for the food pantry. The number of items donated increases linearly as more people are asked to donate.
To model this situation as an arithmetic sequence, we can create a table showing the number of people asked and the corresponding number of items donated. Since they receive an average of 13 items per person, the total items donated is a multiple of the number of people asked.
Table
| Number of People Asked | Number of Items Donated | |------------------------|-------------------------| | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 13 | | 2 | 26 | | 3 | 39 | | 4 | 52 | | 5 | 65 | | 6 | 78 | | 7 | 91 | | 8 | 104 | | 9 | 117 | | 10 | 130 |
Graph
To graph this arithmetic sequence, plot the points from the table with the x-axis representing the "Number of People Asked" and the y-axis representing the "Number of Items Donated".
Most Appropriate Label for the Y-axis
Considering the context of the scenario:
- The most appropriate label for the y-axis is "number of items donated".
This label effectively communicates what the y-values represent in relation to the scenario described.
