Question

Michael is riding his tricycle, he has a head start of 5 meters and is pedaling at 2 meters every 3 seconds. What is the equation of the line? What is the independent and dependent variables?

Answer 1

The correct answer is

y = 2 ÷ 3x + 5

where,

x = independent variable

y = dependent variable

Explanation:

According to the given scenario, the equation of the line, independent and the dependent variable is as follows:

y = mx + b

Since the head is started with 5 meters and the pedaling at 2 meters for every 3 seconds i.e. 2 ÷ 3

So the equation line is

y = 2 ÷ 3x + 5

where,

x = independent variable

y = dependent variable
