|. Activity
Description: Variables may be dependent or independent. Dependent variable depends on the
independent variable while the independent variable controls the dependent variable. Directions:
Classify the variables as independent or dependent.
1.Time and salary
Independent variable:
Dependent variable:
2.The number of hours boiling and the number of ounces of water in the pot
Independent variable:
Dependent variable:
3.The distance covered and the volume of gasoline
Independent variable:
Dependent variable:
4.The number of hours studied to grade on test
Independent variable:
Dependent variable:
5.Height of a plant to the number
Independent variable:
Dependent variable:
How do you differentiate the dependent from the independent variables?
||. Analysis
Guide Questions:
1.What can you say about the given quantities?
2.Which of them are dependent variables? Why?
3.Which of them are independent variables? Why?
|||. Abstraction
Consider the rule y = -2x+4,x = 3 then the value of the function would be -2.

Solution
Y=-2x+4
Y=-2(3)+4
Y=-6+4
Y=-2

Rule/ Function
Substitute x by 3

A.What is the value of y if x = - 37

B. Which is the independent variable? Why?
C. Which is the dependent variable? Why?

|V. Application
Activity 2:

Directions: A. Classify the variables as independent or dependent.

1.the number of days since your last hair cut and the length of your hair
Independent variable
Dependent variable:
2. the cost to rent a car and the length of time it is rented
Independent variable
Dependent variable:

• Evaluate each function for the given value of the independent variable.
3. y=3x+4 , x=-4
4. -2x+y=3 , x=5
5.y=6x-2 , x=3

|V. Assessment
Read the following scenario and determine the dependent and independent variables in the given
situations. Write your answers in the spaces provided.
Scenario:
A student is conducting a science experiment to determine the effect of different amounts of
sunlight on the growth of plants. The student places three pots of the same type of plant in three
different locations – one in a sunny spot, one in a shady area, and one in a room with artificial
light. The student takes measurements of the plant’s height every week for a month.
Questions:
1.What is the independent variable in this scenario?
2. What is the dependent variable in this scenario?
3. Explain why the variable you identified as the independent variable is considered as such.
4. Explain why the variable you identified as the dependent variable is considered as such.
5. How might the results of this experiment help the student draw conclusions about the
relationship between sunlight exposure and plant growth?

V. Assignment
Determine the dependent and independent variable of the following situations.
1.The overtime pay and the number of overtime hour
2.Bus fares and the distance travelled
