The figure here shows the current dwarf planets of our solar system, with their sizes and masses plotted relative to those of the Earths Moon (i.e., Earths Moon = 1 on both axes). Earths Moon is included as a black data point for reference. The axes are logarithmic so that we can see the data more efficiently it does not impact your conclusions for this question. A diagonal dotted blue line corresponds to how this relationship would look for objects composed entirely of pure water ice. In contrast, the diagonal dotted orange line compares to how this would look for things with a lunar composition (mostly rock with a small amount of metal). Both are model lines, not best-fit lines.
