 * Question 1: In this investigation you conducted a jumping jack experiment, collected the data in a table and made a coordinate graph of the data. Your table and graph sowed the relationship between 2 variables. What were the two variables? How did 1 variable affect another?**

Answer: The two variables that were in the graph were the amount of time and jumping jacks. Time affected the amount of jumping jacks because the more more jumping jacks you do the more tired you become therefore as time passes you do less and less jumping jacks.


 * Question 2a: Name some things that in the world that vary and that can be measured. Name two variables.**

Answer 2a- Speed and Distance are two variables that vary because if you travel 1 hour per second you can go anywhere without wasting time.


 * Question 2b: Explain how you could make a graph to show relationship between the 2 related variables from part a. How would you decide which variable should be on the x-axis and which should be on the y-axis?**

Answer 2b: The independent variable should be on the x-axis and the dependent variable should be in the y-axis that way it is easier to read from right to left.
