Question

The cost to rent a moving truck is a flat fee of $25 plus $0.60 per mile. The equation e = 25 +0.6m models the cost, e,

Answer 1

Answer: The independent variable is m (number of miles) and the dependent variable is e (the cost).

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, if you were to graph the equation on the number line ,

M will be the x and e will be the y.And we know most of the time that x is independent in that situations and y is dependent.

The cost of depends on how many miles travelled.If the cost will go up it depends on how many miles.

Answer 2

Answer:

The independent variable is m (the number of miles driven), and the dependent variable is "e" (the cost)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the cost "depends" upon the number of miles driven, therefore, the cost (identified with the letter "e") is the dependent variable which depends upon the number of miles driven (and which is the independent variable identified with the letter "m")
