To model the scenario where Andre and Kara collect an average of 13 items for every person they ask to donate, we can represent this with an arithmetic sequence.

Let’s create a table to illustrate the number of items donated based on the number of people they ask to donate:

| Number of People Asked | Number of Items Donated | |------------------------|-------------------------| | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 13 | | 2 | 26 | | 3 | 39 | | 4 | 52 | | 5 | 65 |

In this table:

  • When no one is asked, 0 items are donated.
  • When one person is asked, they receive 13 items.
  • Each additional person asked increases the total by 13 items, reflecting the arithmetic sequence.

Graphing this data would show a linear relationship, where the y-axis represents the number of items donated and the x-axis represents the number of people asked to donate.

The most appropriate label for the y-axis would be: number of items donated.
