@apexhelpp you probably haven't noticed, but your question is in the wrong section. This may be the problem why you're not getting any help. Repost it in the proper section and see how many replies you get:) I'm sure you'll have more than enough! As I see this question, none of the choices are correct to me, though.

Answer 7

oh what section should it be in?

Answer 8

@apexhelpp I'm very sorry, I don't know your answer

Answer 9

I was thinking about biology but did a little research and it looks like it could be in Math too. As far as your answer choices, I don't see the correct one.

I'm thinking it's an independent variable. As I've said earlier I don't see that as your answer choice.
