Question

Write an equation to represent the relationship between the time Sabir walks and

the number of calories he burns. Use x as the independent variable and y as the
dependent variable.

Answer 1

x * (rate of calories burned) = y

Explanation:

The independent variable is the one that isn't being affected and therefore represents the time that Sabir walks and the number of calories he burns. Therefore, we can multiply x by the rate of calories burned to get y. The rate is not provided.
