An (independent or dependent) variable can be assigned any value. The variable that changes depending on the (independent or dependent) variable is called the (independent or dependent) variable. In the equation y=5x-3, if x is the independent variable, then (x or y) would be considered the dependent variable and will change depending on the value of (x or y)

Step-by-step explanation:

The key word is "depending". The dependent variable changes depending on the independent variable.

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
