Our point is (-5, -4)

Now use point slope form to find the equation: (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y - (-4)) =-4/5(x - (-5))

y + 4 = -4/5x +4

The table shows the number of cups of water required when cooking different amounts of rice.

Harman [31]

Answer-

The amount of water is the dependent value.

Solution-

Plotting the graph from the given data points, it comes out to be a straight line with positive slope. So, both the variables i.e amount of rice and amount of water are in a linear relationship. They are directly proportional to each other.

As the amount of rice increases, the water needed to cook the rice also increases. Plotting a graph taking amount of rice in abscissa and amount of water in ordinate, a straight line was obtained.

Here, amount of rice is the independent variable and amount of water is dependent variable as it depends on the amount of rice.
