In this case, the dependent variable is the temperature (97.3, 98.9, 99.1, and 100.4 degrees) and the independent variable is the number of hours the temperature was recorded (1800, 1700, 1300, and 1400).
The reason for this is that the temperature is being measured and recorded based on the number of hours that have passed. The temperature (dependent variable) is dependent on the number of hours (independent variable) that have passed.
For the graphs you have created, identify the dependent and independent variables. Explain your reasoning.
97.3 | 1800
98.9 | 1700
99.1 | 1300
100.4| 1400
