An easy way to think of independent and dependent variables is, when you're conducting an experiment, the independent variable is what you change, and the dependent variable is what changes because of that. You can also think of the independent variable as the cause and the dependent variable as the effect.

Y-intercept is (0,-7) x-intercept is (14,0)
To solve this, all you need to do is compare the ratio to the amount of SUVS there are.
5/9 (SUVs to sedans)
140/? (SUVs to sedans)
140 ÷ 5 = 28
9 x 28 = 252
140/252
There are 252 sedans in the car dealership! :D
The product of 8 and 54 is 46
