Question

In which scenario can you reverse the dependent and independent variables and still have a meaningful real-world interpretation of slope?


As the amount of water vapor in the air increases, the rate at which you perspire increases.


As the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle increases, the distance traveled by the vehicle increases.


As the amount of fertilizer used on a crop increases, the yield of that crop increases.


As the amount of rainfall in a region increases, the groundwater level in the region increases.

Answer 2

Well, x and y is like cause and effect.
So for the first one, it says you sweat more because there's more water vapor in the air.
It wouldn't make sense to switch it by saying there's more water vapor in the air because you sweat more.

And for the third, the amount of fertilizer used wouldn't increase because the crop produces more.

The fourth, it wouldn't make sense to say the rainfall increases because the groundwater increases.

Answer 3

The only one that makes sense is the second, by saying the more fuel consumed, the more distance is travelled.
