Answer:
The independent variable is m, while the dependent variable is t.
Step-by-step explanation:
- What is the independent variable?
An independent variable is a variable that does not rely on another variable to change its outcome. In this case, the variable 'm' does not rely on the ride's total cost.
- What is the dependent variable?
The dependent variable is a variable that depends on another variable to give its amount. In this case, 't' is the dependent variable, because it depends on how many miles were driven, in order to provide the correct answer.
- Write an equation representing this relationship:
t = $6 + ($1.50 x m)
- Complete the table to show the total cost for riding 3 to 10 miles:
3 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $10.50 = $6 + ($1.50 x 3)
4 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $12 = $6 + ($1.50 x 4)
5 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $13.50 = $6 + ($1.50 x 5)
6 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $15 = $6 + ($1.50 x 6)
7 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $16.50 = $6 + ($1.50 x 7)
8 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $18 = $6 + ($1.50 x 8)
9 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $19.50 = $6 + ($1.50 x 9)
10 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $21 = $6 + ($1.50 x 10)
If you talk of a scatter plot, regularly the x-axis is used to plot the explanatory variable, this is the possible cause; while the y-axis is used to plot the varibale that is being explained, the result, the efffect.
If you are dealing with a function or model, you the convention is to use the x-axis for the independent variable, this is the input, while the y-axis is for the output or dependent varibale (which is determined by the independent variable).
C hope i could help you out
The answers are 0 and 2
This can be found by looking at the x axis and finding every point where the line crosses
How to get answer by Mimiwhatsup:
6(12m+12b−2b)
=(6)(12m+12b+−2b)
=(6)(12m)+(6)(12b)+(6)(−2b)
=72m+72b−12b
=60b+72m
