Question
Identify the true statement from the given choices for the table.
- The independent variable is distance
- The independent variable is d=25 t
- The dependent variable is time
- The dependent variable is distance
Hint:
In a given equation, the 2 variables viz. x & y can be bifurcated into Independent variable and dependent variable.
The correct answer is: The dependent variable is distance
TO FIND-
Dependent variable
SOLUTION-
The independent variable can be referred to as the cause i.e. Its value is independent (does not change as per the other variables) of other variables. The dependent variable can be referred to as the effect. Its value depends on changes in the independent variable.
Generally, Independent variables are represented on the x-axis i.e. horizontal axis and Dependent variables are represented on the y-axis i.e. verticle axis.
From the given graph, we observe that time is represented on the horizontal axis and change in time is constant i.e. 1 units. However, change in distance, which is represented on the verticle axis is dependent on the x-coordinate i.e. d = 25 * t.
Hence, Distance is the Dependent variable and time is the independent variable.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'd' i.e. 'The dependent variable is distance' is the correct answer to the given question.
