y = 2 - 5/4 x is the independent variable of equation.
What is independent variable and example?
- It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure.
- For example, someone's age might be an independent variable.
- Other factors (such as what they eat, how much they go to school, how much television they watch) aren't going to change a person's age.
- The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.
-5x - 4y = -8
The following equation is rearranged by some algebraic handling-
-4y = - 8 + 5x
y = [tex]\frac{-8}{-4} - \frac{5 x}{4}[/tex]
y = 2 - 5/4 x
