Question

Please Answer if you can 20 points.

Determine the independent and dependent variable from the following linear equation.

Answer 1

The independent is the “x” variable and the dependent is the “y” variable. In this case r = 17q - 5 can be related to y = mx + b, where r = y, mx = 17q and b = -5. With this, “q” is the independent variable, and “r” is the dependent variable.
