Answer 1

In this scenario, you are looking at a situation where the number of items donated increases in a linear fashion as more people are asked to donate. Since they receive an average of 13 items for every person they ask, the relationship can be modeled as an arithmetic sequence.

To create a table, we would have:

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

Now, plotting this information on a graph, the x-axis would represent the "Number of People Asked", and the y-axis would represent the "Number of Items Donated".

Thus, the most appropriate label for the y-axis is:

number of items donated
