Frank is having the car pets in his house cleaned. The cost of the cleaning is calculated from the area of the carpets. C= the cost of the cleaning a= the area of the carpets. Which of the variables is independent which is dependent?

Cost of the cleaning, C is the dependent variable

Area of the carpet, a is the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of the cleaning is calculated from the area of the carpets

C= the cost of the cleaning a= the area of the carpets.

Cost of the cleaning, C is the dependent variable

Area of the carpet, a is the independent variable

A dependent variable is a variable which depends on other factors to exist. They take their values based on other factors. Their value is changed as a result of a change in independent variable

An independent variable is a variable which does not change as a result of the change in other factors. They take their values irrespective of external factors around them.

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

b
