Question

*****Ramiro poured coffee into a cup. The table below shows the temperature of the coffee with respect to the number of minutes since the coffee had been poured.

Number of Minutes 2 4 6 8 10

Temperature (°C) 66.74  50.43  39.47  32.10  27.15

The independent variable in the relationship is the (number of minutes OR temperature) and should be placed on the (x-axis OR y-axis)

The dependent variable in the relationship is the temperature OR number of minutes) and should be placed on the (x-axis OR y-axis). 

Thank you!

Answer 1

The independent variable in the relationship is the number of minutes and should be placed on the x-axis .

The dependent variable in the relationship is the temperature and should be placed on the y-axis .

Answer 2

To solve this problem you must take into account what it is a dependent variable and what it is an independent variable.
The dependent variables are plotted on the y axis. These variables depend on what value takes x for them to adopt a value.
The independent variables are plotted on the x axis. These variables take any value because they do not depend on a function.
We have then:
The independent variable in the relationship is the number of minutes and should be placed on the x-axis.
The dependent variable in the relationship is the temperature and should be placed on the y-axis.
