Question

To bill customers for water usage, one city converts the number of gallons used into units. This relationship is represented by the equation u = 748g, where g is the total number of gallons of water used and u is the number of units.

Determine which statements about the relationship are true. Choose two options.

Answers

  1. The statements which are correct about the relationship in discuss are as follows;
    • g is the independent variable.
    • u is the dependent variable.

    What variables can be assigned as independent and dependent variables?

    It follows from the task content that the company converts the number of water gallons used to units in a bid to bill customers.
    It therefore follows from the statement above and by virtue of the linear relationship as represented by the equation; u = 748g that the independent variable is; g while the dependent variable is; u.
    remarks:
    g is the dependent variable.
    u is the dependent variable.
    g is the independent variable.
    u is the independent variable.
    The variables cannot be labeled without a table of values.
    The variables cannot be labeled since any value can be selected for either.
