Find the rule.

• The output is: t + 6
• The output is: t + 2
• The output is: t x 2
• The output is: t - 6

• the independent variable is distance
• the independent variable is d=25 t
• the dependent variable is time
• the dependent variable is distance

What is the dependent variable according to the graph?

Find the rule.

Find the rule.

• y = x - 10

• y = x - 14

• y = x ÷ 3

• y = 3x

Find the rule.

• y = 3x + 1

• y = x + 7

• y = 7x

• y = x - 7
