Question

1/10
which of the following is a characteristic of a discrete relationship?
it is always continuous.
it cannot be broken down into fractions or decimals.
it can be broken down into fractions.
it is always measured.

Explanation:

A discrete relationship consists of distinct, separate data points (not a continuous curve), and discrete values are countable, not divisible into smaller meaningful fractions/decimals. For the graph question: discrete graphs have isolated points, not connected lines. Graphs 2 and 3 have only separate points, so they represent discrete relationships. For the characteristic question: discrete data cannot be broken into meaningful fractions/decimals (they are whole, countable values).

Answer:

Graphs representing discrete relationships:

Graph 2, Graph 3

Correct characteristic option:

1. It cannot be broken down into fractions or decimals.
