Which of the following are the two quantities whose functional relationship is described in the given graph? (1 point) Responses The two quantities are the average rainfall in inches and the month of the year. The two quantities are the average rainfall in inches and the month of the year. The two quantities are the average rainfall in inches and the years. The two quantities are the average rainfall in inches and the years. The two quantities are inches and months of the year. The two quantities are inches and months of the year. The two quantities are the x-values and the y-values.
Unfortunately, without an actual graph to reference, it's impossible to accurately determine which two quantities the graph represents. However, based on the provided options, it seems that you are describing relationships involving average rainfall, which would typically vary either over the course of different months within a year or across different years. Here are the clarifications for the options given:
1. "The two quantities are the average rainfall in inches and the month of the year." This describes a common type of graph where the x-axis might represent the months of the year (January through December), and the y-axis represents the average rainfall for each of those months, measured in inches.
2. "The two quantities are the average rainfall in inches and the years." This could describe a graph where the x-axis represents sequential years (e.g., 2000, 2001, 2002, etc.), and the y-axis represents the average annual rainfall for each of those years, also measured in inches.
3. "The two quantities are inches and months of the year." This is similarly phrased to the first option and likely intends to express the same thing: the relationship between rainfall, measured in inches, and the months of the year.
4. "The two quantities are the x-values and the y-values." This is a generic description applicable to any Cartesian coordinate system, where 'x-values' typically represent the independent variable and 'y-values' the dependent variable. The specific meaning of x and y would be determined by the context of the graph, which is not provided here.
For an accurate response, you would need to look at the actual graph and read the labels on the axes to determine what the x-values and y-values represent. From the context provided, it is likely either the first or second option that correctly identifies the quantities, depending on whether the time axis refers to months within a year or spans across multiple years.
