Question

A straight line on a graph indicates that there is a ______ relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable

Answer 1

A straight line indicates that there is linear

Answer 2

A straight line on a graph indicates that there is a DIRECT or LINEAR relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the equation of straight line is given as

`y = mx + c`

here we know that

y = dependent variable

x = independent variable

So here we know that independent variable when directly depends on independent variable then the relation between them is plotted on the graph must be a straight line graph

so correct answer will be

A straight line on a graph indicates that there is a DIRECT or LINEAR relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable
