Question 355997
like you said ... f(x) = y


subtracting 3x ___ 5y = -3x + 15


dividing by 5 ___ y = (-3/5)x + 3



this comes from graphing , where the independent variable (x) is graphed on the horizontal axis
___ and the dependent variable (y or f(x)) is graphed on the vertical axis


the value of the dependent variable depends on (is a function of) the value of the independent variable
