To determine whether the current graph uses a reasonable scale for Lina's dog-walking fee structure, let's consider what the costs would look like for different numbers of hours:
- For 0 hours: Total cost = $5 (the fee)
- For 1 hour: Total cost = $5 + $10 * 1 = $15
- For 2 hours: Total cost = $5 + $10 * 2 = $25
- For 3 hours: Total cost = $5 + $10 * 3 = $35
- For 4 hours: Total cost = $5 + $10 * 4 = $45
- For 5 hours: Total cost = $5 + $10 * 5 = $55
The cost increases in increments of $10 for every additional hour, plus the initial $5 fee.
A reasonable graph should clearly depict these costs (or the relevant range for dog-walking appointments) on both axes (number of hours on one axis and total cost on the other).
If the graph successfully captures these values in a readable manner (e.g., showing from 0 to at least 5 hours and 5 to 60 dollars), then it uses a reasonable scale. If it doesn't display the values effectively or is excessively compressed/expanded, it may not be a reasonable scale.
Since I don’t have access to the specific graph mentioned, I cannot provide a definite answer. However, if the scale accurately represents the data points listed above and allows for easy interpretation of the fee structure, the answer would be 1. If it distorts the information or makes it hard to understand, the answer would be 2.
Please refer to the graph to assess if it meets these criteria appropriately!
