Linear Relationships

Hi Class! Make this a post on your blog titled "Linear Relationships"

-find the dependent variable
-write an equation
-describe the graph

Here is an example: Mr. Hunt eats 2 cookies per day.
Independent variable: days
Dependent variable: Cookies eaten
Equation: c=cookies eaten, d=days, so c = 2d
Graph: Starts at the origin, increases at a constant rate of 2 cookies per day.
