Question

identify independent and dependent variables in tables and graphs
which of the variables is independent and which is dependent?
k is the independent variable, and t is the dependent variable.
t is the independent variable, and k is the dependent variable.
complete the sentence.
the dependent variable is always the independent variable.

Explanation:

In graphs, the independent variable is typically on the x-axis (horizontal), and the dependent variable is on the y-axis (vertical). Here, \( k \) is on the x-axis, so it is independent; \( t \) is on the y-axis, so it is dependent. The dependent variable relies on or is determined by the independent variable.

Answer:

1. \( k \) is the independent variable, and \( t \) is the dependent variable.
2. The dependent variable is always dependent on the independent variable.
