Jake earns $12 for each hour worked. The equation y = 12x can be used to model this situation, where x represents the number of hours worked and y represents the total amount earned.

What is the dependent variable?

y is the dependent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, a function is a rule for taking an input and providing an output.

A symbol that stands for an arbitrary input is called an independent variable.

A symbol that stands for an output that depends on the value of a independent variable is called a dependent variable.

y = 12x  } Function

x is the independent variable = arbitrary number of hours worked.

y is the dependent variable because depends on the value of x.

y

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!
