The independent variable, x, represents the number of questions correct, and the dependent variable is the score on the test, because the score depends on the number of questions correct.
A function relating these variables is T(x), where T represents the score on the test.
So T(17) = 17*5 = 85, meaning the score on the test for 17 questions correct is 85.
Liam's math teacher said that each question answered correctly on a test would be worth 5 points. Answer the questions below regarding the relationship between the number of questions correct and the score on the test.
