1. The bars would appear much shorter because the scale would be stretched out, making the same calorie values look smaller in comparison to the new, larger range of numbers on the vertical axis.
2. The graph would appear much taller and more spread out vertically, as the scale would start from 0 and go up to at least 130 (or higher), making the differences between the cereal brands more visually pronounced.
3. Enrollment in physical science shows a steady increase over the years, while enrollment in chemistry fluctuates slightly but generally remains stable or slightly decreases. There is a clear upward trend for physical science and no strong trend for chemistry.
4. The legend is included to distinguish between the two different data sets (Chemistry and Physical Science) represented by different line styles and markers, helping the viewer understand which line corresponds to which subject.
5. The independent variable would be the school names (School A, B, C, D, E), and it would be plotted on the horizontal (x) axis.
6. The dependent variable would be the number of students, and it would be plotted on the vertical (y) axis.
