John is saving up to buy a bike. He already has $115 and makes $25 for every lawn that he mows. John’s savings can be modeled by the equation s=25m+115 , in which s is the amount of John’s savings (in dollars) and m is the number of lawns he has mowed. What is the dependent variable for the inverse of the given equation?(1 point)

GPT-4o mini · Answer

In the equation $ s = 25m + 115 $, $ s $ represents John's savings, which is dependent on the number of lawns he mows, represented by $ m $. When considering the inverse of the equation, we typically exchange the roles of the dependent and independent variables. In this case, when we find the inverse, $ m $ will become the dependent variable, and $ s $ will become the independent variable. Thus, in the inverse of the given equation, the dependent variable is $ m $ (the number of lawns he has mowed).
