Independent and Dependent Variables with X and Y

What is the algebraic equation for this table?

• y = 480x

• x = y/480

• x + 480 = y

• 480 - x = y

What are the dependent quantities from the table?

• {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}

• {9, 6, 3, 0, -3, -6, -9}

• x

• y

Which equation matches the table?

• y = x + 5

• y = 5x

• y = x - 5

• x = y - 5

On a graph, which axis shows the DEPENDENT variable?
