Question 134205: Identify the independent variable il the general linear equation y= mx+b.
F. y
G. m
H. x
J. b
My work:
I think the answer is x because i think the dependent variable is y because it depends on x, which make x stand alone independently. Can you help me and tell me the answer so i can know if i was correct.
