Identify the independent and dependent variable of the following graph. Indicate whether the graph rises, falls, or is constant.

Net profit of a particular business in relation to time given quarterly.

a. Independent Variable: time, Dependent Variable: net profit
Graph falls and then steadily rises
b. Independent Variable: net profit, Dependent Variable: time
Graph starts low, rises until it reaches a maximum point and then falls
c. Independent Variable: time, Dependent Variable: net profit
Graph starts out rising and starts falling mid-year. At the beginning of 2006 it is at the minimum value and begins rising again before staying at a fairly constant rate for the remainder of the year.
d. Independent Variable: net profit, Dependent Variable: time
Graph starts out rising and starts falling mid-year. At the beginning of 2006 it is at the minimum value and begins rising again before staying at a fairly constant rate for the remainder of the year.

Graph starts out rising and starts falling mid-year. At the beginning of 2006 it is at the minimum value and begins rising again before staying at a fairly constant rate for the remainder of the year

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem

Let

x------> the time

y-----> the net profit

we know that

The independent variable is the time (variable x)

The dependent variable is the net profit (variable y)
