Based on the graph, what is the dependent variable, the equation relating the two variables, and how far will the dragonfly travel in 24 hours if it continues to fly at the same speed? (look at the image below) the dependent variable is distance, the equation is x = 20y, and the dragonfly will travel 360 miles. the dependent variable is distance, the equation is y = 20x, and the dragonfly will travel 480 miles. the dependent variable is time, the equation is x = 20y, and the dragonfly will travel 360 miles. the dependent variable is time, the equation is y = 20x, and the dragonfly will travel 480 miles.
