Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The independent variable is the time (variable x)The dependent variable is the number of cars he washes (variable y)Step-by-step explanation:we know thatA relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]y/x=k[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]In this problemThe relationship between the number of cars he washes and the time it takes him to wash those cars represent a a proportional variationLety -----> the number of cars he washesx -----> the timeThe linear equation is [tex]y=kx[/tex]The independent variable is the time xThe dependent variable is the number of cars he washes y
