Independent/Dependent & Additive/Multiplicative

Front

What is a dependent variable?

Back

A dependent variable is a variable that depends on another variable, often represented on the y-axis of a graph.

Front

What is an independent variable?

Back

An independent variable is a variable that stands alone and isn't affected by other variables, often represented on the x-axis of a graph.

In the equation m = 8p, what does 'm' represent?

Back

'm' represents the total number of markers.

Front

In the equation m = 8p, what does 'p' represent?

Back

'p' represents the number of packages.

Front

What is an additive relationship?

Back

An additive relationship is when a quantity increases by a constant amount, represented by a linear equation.

Front

What is a multiplicative relationship?

Back

A multiplicative relationship is when a quantity increases by a constant factor, represented by a non-linear equation.

Front

How can you identify a dependent variable in a table?

Back

The dependent variable is usually the outcome that changes in response to the independent variable.

Front

What does it mean if a graph crosses through the origin?

Back

It means that when the independent variable is zero, the dependent variable is also zero, indicating a multiplicative relationship.

Front

What is the difference between additive and multiplicative relationships?

Back

Additive relationships involve constant addition, while multiplicative relationships involve constant multiplication.

If the total cost depends on the weight of a package, which is the dependent variable?

Back

The total cost is the dependent variable.
