In this scenario, we can create a table and graph to model the relationship between the number of people Andre and Kara ask to donate and the number of items they receive. Since they receive an average of 13 items per person, this forms an arithmetic sequence where each additional person asked increases the total number of items by 13.

Table of Values

| Number of People Asked (x) | Number of Items Donated (y) | |-----------------------------|------------------------------| | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 13 | | 2 | 26 | | 3 | 39 | | 4 | 52 | | 5 | 65 | | 6 | 78 |

Graphing

  • x-axis: Number of People Asked
  • y-axis: Number of Items Donated

To graph this, you can plot the points from the table and draw a line through them, showing the linear relationship.

Appropriate Label for the Y-Axis

In this context, the most appropriate label for the y-axis is "number of items donated" as it directly reflects what the y-axis represents in relation to the x-axis (number of people asked to donate).

So, the correct response is:

number of items donated
