The amount of money I spend putting gas in my car this week is
B = 3.079 G
where ' B ' is the number of Bux I spend on gas this week. ' G ' is the number of Gallons I buy this week.
-- The independent variable is 'G'. I can buy as few or as many gallons as I want to.
-- The dependent variable is ' B '. It depends on how many gallons I buy.
The independent variable is the number of gallons purchased (G), while the dependent variable is the amount of money spent (B). This relationship can be expressed as B = 3.079G, showing that the money spent depends directly on the amount of gasoline bought. When plotted on a graph, G would be on the x-axis and B on the y-axis.
