Question

Brian is playing a video game. He earns the same number of points for each star he picks up. He earned 2,400 points for 6 stars, 4,000 points for 10 stars, and 5,200 points for 13 stars. Which is the independent variable in the situation?

Answer 1

2400/6= 400
4000/10= 400
5200/13= 400

y=400x
Every star is 400 points and the independent variable is number of stars Brian picks up because the amount of points he gets is dependent on the number of stars he has.

Answer 2

2400/6= 400

4000/10= 400

5200/13= 400

y=400x

Every star is 400 points and the independent variable is number of stars Brian picks up because the amount of points he gets is dependent on the number of stars he has.

hope this helps you
