Question

Identify the independent and dependent variable of the following graph. Indicate whether the graph rises, falls, or is constant

a. Independent Variable: interest level, Dependent Variable: performance
Graph falls and then steadily rises
b. Independent Variable: interest level, Dependent Variable: performance
Graph starts low, rises until it reaches a maximum point and then falls
c. Independent Variable: performance, Dependent Variable: interest level
Graph starts low, rises until it reaches a maximum point and then falls
d. Independent Variable: performance, Dependent Variable: interest level
Graph falls and then steadily rises

Answer 1

b. The permormance depends on the interest level in maybe study, or doing well.
Performance is dependent
Interest is independent of performance.
Graph starts low and then falls

Answer 2

b. Independent Variable: interest level, Dependent Variable: performance ; Graph starts low, rises until it reaches a maximum point and then falls

Explanation:

The independent variable goes along the x-axis. In this graph, that is interest level.

The dependent variable goes along the y-axis. In this graph, that is performance.

From left to right, the graph starts low and increases. It reaches a maximum point and then falls again.
