Answer 3

okay give me a sec

Answer 4

kk thank u

Answer 5

the independent variable is one that stands alone whereas the dependent variable is the one that changes depending on the independent variable. in this case, calories change according to time. what do you think the independent variable is?

Answer 6

here: i'll help you out a little: the independent variable is time.

Answer 7

do you understand why?

Answer 8

ik what the independent variable is and i dont understand y im sorry

Answer 9

it's okay!! i'm here to help

Answer 10

okay than

Answer 11

okay so in this situation you have calories and time. you are given a data table with which you create a scatter plot. first, however, you must determine what the independent variable and dependent variable are.

Answer 12

okay than

Answer 13

the independent variable is one that does not change based on the other. the dependent variable is one that changes based on the other. so, in this case, as time passes calories are being burned (i assume, i don't have the entire question or scatter plot!!). in this case, the independent variable is time (which is also our x value) and the dependent variable is calories (which is also our y value).

Answer 14

so, right off the bat you are able to eliminate two choices: choice a and choice b. that laves us with choice c and choice d. correct? are you understanding?

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

great! okay so there is a simple solution to the second part of the problem: graphing on the axis.

Answer 17

our x values are always graphed on the x axis (vertical) and our y values are always graphed on the y axis (horizontal).

Answer 18

so, since we have already determined with our data table that time is the x value, where do we graph it?

Answer 19

do you understand or do you need more explaining? i'm more than happy to help!

Answer 20

no i understand thank u

Answer 21

great! glad i could help. :) if you need anything anytime let me know!
