Question

D. 52 3. Which statement is not true of the function? A. The independent variable is x. B. The dependent variable is y. C. When the input is 1, the output is -2. D. When the input is 8, the output is 32.

Answer 1

Given function

y = 5x - 8

From the function

x is an independent variable. Option A is true

y is a dependent variable. Option B is true

when the input x = 1 , y = 5x - 8

y = 5(1) - 8

y = 5 - 8

y = -3

Option C is not true

when the input x = 8 , y = 5x - 8

y = 5(8) - 8

y = 5 - 8

y = -3
