To determine if the current graph uses a reasonable scale for Lina's dog-walking fee structure, we need to consider the components of her pricing:
1. A one-time fee of $5.
2. An hourly rate of $10.
The total cost of the service can be expressed as:
\[ \text{Total Cost} = 5 + 10h \]
where \( h \) is the number of hours.
When graphing this, the y-axis (cost) should start from $5 (the base fee) and increase in increments appropriate for the hourly rate.
If the graph reasonably represents this with appropriate axis labels and increments that capture the starting cost and linear growth based on time, then the scale is reasonable.
Without seeing the actual graph, I can't provide a definitive answer. However, if the graph captures the cost starting from $5 and shows a clear, linear increase based on hours walked, then I would recommend entering 1 for yes.
If it does not start from $5 or does not appropriately reflect the costs, then you would enter 2 for no.
