A coordinate grid from negative 16 to positive 16 is drawn with both in increments of 2. A straight line passing through the points 0, 0, and negative 4, 12 and 4, negative 12 is drawn.

What is the relationship between x and y?

y and x stay constant
y increases as x increases
y decreases as x increases
y stays constant as x increases

Answer 1

Answer: A linear equation in two variables can be described as a linear relationship between x and y, that is, two variables in which the value of one of them (usually y) depends on the value of the other one (usually x). In this case, x is the independent variable, and y depends on it, so y is called the dependent variable.
