If weight is an explanatory variable and cost is the corresponding response variable which of these would be represented by the y-axis on a scatterplot A. Weight B. Neither weight nor cost C. Both weight and cost D. Cost

D. Cost

Step-by-step explanation:

In a scatter diagram we have that the x axis corresponds to the explanatory variable or also called the independent variable, since it is the value that is entered in the equation and does not depend on another.

While the y-axis corresponds to the response variable or also called the dependent variable since it is the value of the result of the equation

In this case, the explanatory variable is weight, that is, on the x-axis the weight would go and the cost is the response variable and would go on the y-axis, therefore, the answer is D. Cost

(-1,-0.5)

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 13

step-by-step explanation:

5*5=25

12*12=144

25+144=169

169^2=13
