Question

What is an independent variable what is an dependent variable ​

Answer 1

An independednt variable is a variable that doesnt need any support Dependent is where there is variable, but it depends on something else.

For example,

y=2x+1

y is dependent, becuase it depend on 2x+1

x is independent, beucase it doesnt need to depend on anything.

Answer 2

Answer:

Lets say that we have an equation. You get 10 dollars for every hour you work. x = how many hours worked, and s = your salary for each hour

example equation
10x = S.

S will be the DEPENDENT variable and X is the INDEPENDENT  variable. Why? Because your salary depends on how many hours you worked. If you work for 5 hours, you get $50. Its not like your boss gives you the $50 and like "work for 5 hours". thats not how it works lol

Hope this helped :)
