Answer 1

Given:

A taxi fare service charges $2 for every mile.

This can be represented by the function;

`\begin{gathered} y=2x \\ where: \\ y\text{ is the taxi fare} \\ x\text{ is the number of miles driven} \end{gathered}`

From the equation;

`\begin{gathered} y\text{ is the dependent variable} \\ x\text{ is the independent variable} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the dependent quantity in the relationship between distance and taxi fare is;

The taxi fare after a certain number of miles have been driven.
