You can put this solution on YOUR website!
hours: 10 15 20 25 (independent variables)
amount: 70 105 140 175 (dependent variables)
.
Points (x, y): (10, 70) (15, 105), (20, 140) (25, 175)
x = the independent variable. Time is not dependent on anything.
y = the amount of pay (dependent variable) is dependent upon the amount of time worked.
.
The amount of pay (dependent variable) increases with the amount of hours (independent variable) worked. The amount of hours DOES NOT increase with the amount of pay.
