A car travels 60mph (miles per hour).
x=hours
y=distance
Which is the independent and dependent variable. Explain.
X, hours, is the independent variable
y, distance, is the dependent variable
The distance is dependent because it relies on the number of hours spent driving.

A taxi charges $1.75 plus a fee of $0.75 for each mile traveled. The total cost of a ride, without a tip, is $4.75. How many miles is the trip? Use m for the number of miles traveled.
Define the variable, write an equation, solve then equation, then check your work.
m=miles driven during the trip
1.75+0.75x = 4.75
m=4
1.75+0.75(4)=4.75
1.75+3 = 4.75

Sally sets up a booth at the bake sale and sells cupcakes. Each day, she makes $50.
x=number of days she sets up a booth
y=total money earned
Which variable is the dependent variable? Which is the independent variable? Why?
y, money earned, is the dependent variable.
The amount Sally earns relies on how many days she sets up at the bake sale.
