weight = vehicle weight in pounds; mpg = miles traveled per gallon of fuel
a. x - axis:
b. y - axis:
iii. writing hypotheses
what effect does high temperature have on the growth of radishes?
a. independent variable?
b. dependent variable?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x - axis variable

The x - axis usually represents the independent variable. In the context of vehicle weight and MPG, weight is often considered the independent variable that may affect MPG. So for the vehicle - related part, the x - axis is vehicle weight in pounds. For the radish - related part, the independent variable is high temperature.

Step2: Identify y - axis variable

The y - axis usually represents the dependent variable. For the vehicle - related part, MPG (miles traveled per gallon of fuel) is the dependent variable affected by weight. For the radish - related part, the growth of radishes is the dependent variable affected by temperature.

Answer:

a. X - axis: Vehicle weight in pounds for vehicle data; High temperature for radish data
b. Y - axis: MPG for vehicle data; Growth of radishes for radish data
