Answer: Part A and Part C : Let x represents the number of hours and y represents the earning after x hours,
As per statement,
The earning is $5 for an hour,
Thus, the earning for x hour = 5x
⇒ y = 5x -----(1)
Which is the equation that shows the relationship between the two variables ( x and y ),
Since, earning is dependent on the time,
⇒ y is dependent variable and x is independent variable,
Part B :
From equation (1),
For x = 1, y = 5,
For x = 2, y = 10,
For x = 3, y = 15,
Hence, the possible order pairs that shows the value of the values of the two variables are (1,5), (2, 10) and (3, 15).
Therefore, D=dollars earned
T=time spent painting the fence.
(1,5) (2,10) (3,15)
D=5T
Step-by-step explanation: The dollars earned is the dependent variable because how much she earns DEPENDS on how much she works. The time is the independent variable because she paint as long as she wants, it doesn't depend on anything.
