Question

Plant A Plant B WeeksHeight (inches) WeeksHeight (inches) 06 04 28 27 Part A To graph the two linear relationships, you need to know which variable is the independent variable, x, and which is the dependent variable, y. Of the two variables, weeks and height, which is the independent variable and which is the dependent? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Weeks is the independent variable and height is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the plant depends on the weeks the plant has been growing. So the height is the dependent variable. Because the number of weeks doesn't depend on anything, the number of weeks is an independent variable.
