Question

A factory produces 10 cars every 3 hours

1. What is the dependent and independent variable
2. Explain how you know the variables are independent or dependent
3. Is the relationship linear or non linear? Explain your reason
4. Do you think that given enough information you could create a table,graph, and an equation for the function? Why or why not
5. What information would you need to make your table/graph/equation

Answer 1

1)The dependent is the number of cars produced. The independent is the amount of time

2)I know that the number of cars produced is the dependent because it will change whenever the amount of time changes

3)This relationship is linear because as you get more time, you will get more cars

4)I could create a graph because I could plot down these points and find the slope

5) I would need a couple more points to plot
