Question

Determine the independent and dependent variables from the following situation. Delilah was given $50 for her birthday. Every month she saves $15.

Answer 1

$15 dependent
$50 independent

Answer 2

y is the dependent variable and it is the total amount of money that she has saved.

X is the dependent variable and it is the number of months that she has saved.

Explanation:

y = 15x + 50

This is what the equation would look like. If you tell me how many months she has saved, I can tell you how much is in her account.
