Answer:
The dependent variable is y (the amount paid)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]y = 5x[/tex]
Where
[tex]x \to[/tex] number of movies
[tex]y \to[/tex] amount paid
Required
The dependent variable
From the question, we have:
[tex]y = 5x[/tex]
This means that the value of y is determined by the value of x.
Take for instance:
[tex]x = 2[/tex]
The value of y will be:
[tex]y =5*2 = 10[/tex]
If x changes (say; x = 12), y will also change
[tex]y =5*12 = 60[/tex]
Hence, y is the dependent variable
