The correct response is: It looks like a straight line slanting upwards.
This is because kinetic energy (KE) is calculated using the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity. Since the velocity is constant for the objects in Taylor's table, an increase in mass will result in an increase in kinetic energy, resulting in a positive linear relationship when graphed with mass on the x-axis and kinetic energy on the y-axis.
