Victor and Moncies record the number of miles, m, they bike to help track the number of calories,c, that they burn in an hour. Victor says the number of calories they burn is the dependent variable. Do you agree and why?
Yes. The number of calories burned depends on how many miles they rode the bike.

independent: w
dependent: h hours depends on the speed driven

g= 21.4, 4.4, 25
The manager of a water park keeps track of the amount of money collected, m, and the number of tickets sold, t, each day. Which is the independent variable?
