Question
The graph shows the distance traveled by Ms. Luce's family on a road trip. They will travel 25 miles each hour. Identify the statement that is true about the situation.
- 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 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.
The correct answer is: The dependent variable is distance
GIVEN-
X-axis = Time (h)
Y-axis = Distance (mi)
d = 25t
TO FIND-
True statement from the given options on the basis of the given graph..
SOLUTION-
In the given graph, we observe that Time is represented on the X-axis and Distance on the Y-axis.
We know that variable on the X-axis is the independent variable and that on the y-axis is the dependent variable.
Hence, Time is the independent variable and Distance is the dependent variable in this situation.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'd' i.e. 'The dependent variable is distance' is the correct answer to the given question.
