Question

identify independent and dependent variables in tables and graphs

(graph with months on x - axis (1 - 10) and values 10, 20, 30 on y - axis with points at (1,10), (2,20), (3,30))

which of the variables is independent and which is dependent?

m is the independent variable, and t is the dependent variable.

t is the independent variable, and m is the dependent variable.

complete the sentence.

the dependent variable is always ______ the independent variable.

options: 10 more than, 10 less than, 10 times, \\(\frac{1}{10}\\) of

Explanation:

Step1: Identify variables in graph

The x-axis is "Months" (labeled m), y-axis is the other variable (t). Independent variable is on x-axis.

Step2: Check variable relationship

Points: (1,10), (2,20), (3,30). So t = 10*m, meaning t is 10 times m.

Answer:

1. m is the independent variable, and t is the dependent variable.
2. 10 times
