Question

figure dogwood tree
on a scatter plot graph below, the y - axis variable is the height of a dogwood tree in meters, and the x - axis variable is the trunk diameter of the dogwood tree in centimeters.
the simple correct name for a graph is dependent variable vs. independent variable, therefore the correct name for this graph would be...
dogwood trees: trunk diameter vs. tree height scatter plot
dogwood trees: tree height vs. trunk diameter scatter plot
more information is needed to name this graphed data.

Explanation:

The Y - axis (height) is the dependent variable and the X - axis (trunk diameter) is the independent variable. In naming a graph with dependent vs independent variables, the dependent variable comes first. Here, height is dependent on trunk diameter, so the correct naming has height first.

Answer:

Dogwood Trees: Tree height Vs. Trunk Diameter Scatter Plot
