Question

Latisha earns $5 an hour painting her neighbor's fence.

Part A: Create two variables and determine which is dependent and which is independent for this situation. (4 points)

Part B: List three ordered pairs to show the values of the two variables. (3 points)

Part C: Write an equation to represent the relationship between the two variables. (3 points)

Please I really need help!

Answer 1

Part A: Variables : M = money, H = number of hours. So the number of hours(H) is independent and the money(M) is a dependent variable.

Part B: Ordered pairs : (0 Hours, 0$), ( 1 Hour, 5$), (2 Hours, 10$)

Part C: H*5 = M

Explanation:

Part A: The money is dependent on the number of hours because per hour she paints the fence, she gets 5$. So the hour changes, and because of this, Latisha gets 5$ more.

Part B: The ordered pairs are in the form (number of hours, money).

Part C: H*5 = M. A few examples of this are 1x5=5, 2x5=10, 10x5=50.

Good Luck!
