Question

The graph below shows the distances, in miles, that a dragonfly can travel in a certain number of hours:

Answer 1

Ur independent variable is ur x values....ur dependent variable is ur y values..so if hrs are on the x axis, then ur independent values are ur hrs (or time)....and ur dependent values are ur distance.

(0,0),(2,50)
slope = (50 - 0) / (2 - 0) = 50/2 = 25

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 25
and since u have point (0,0), ur y int (b) = 0
so ur equation is y = 25x + 0 which is written as y = 25x...which is basically saying that he travels 25 miles per hr

how far will he travel in 24 hrs.....so sub in 24 for x
y = 25(24)
y = 600 miles

in summary : The dependent variable is distance, the equation is y = 25x and the dragonfly will fly 600 miles.

Answer 2

Answer:

The dependent variable is distance, the equation is y = 25x and the dragonfly will travel 600 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based off of the graph you can clearly see the dependent variable being distance. The time is the INDEPENDENT variable. A would be your answer!
