Question

Andre and Kara are collecting food for the food pantry in their neighborhood. For every person they ask to donate, they receive an average of 13 items. Create a table and graph an arithmetic sequence to model this
scenario. What would be the most appropriate label for the y-axis? (1 point)

neighborhood population

number of people asked to donate

food pantry

number of items donated

Answer 1

Table (people asked → items donated, with items = 13 × people):

People asked (n): 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Items donated: 0, 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78

Arithmetic sequence: a_n = 13n (common difference = 13).
Graph: a straight line through (0,0), (1,13), (2,26), ... with slope 13.

Most appropriate y-axis label: number of items donated.
