Question

Kevin bought dvds of different movies he spent $5 for each movie the equation y=5 shows how much he spent for the movies

Answer 1

The dependent variable is y (the amount paid)

Explanation:

Given

`y = 5x`

Where

`x \to` number of movies

`y \to` amount paid

Required

The dependent variable

From the question, we have:

`y = 5x`

This means that the value of y is determined by the value of x.

Take for instance:

`x = 2`

The value of y will be:

`y =5*2 = 10`

If x changes (say; x = 12), y will also change

`y =5*12 = 60`

Hence, y is the dependent variable
