All About Graphs
In this post, I am going to revisit the topic of graphs. There are many different types of graphs and there are many ways you can describe a line on a graph.
First, lets talk about independent and dependent variables. The independent variable is the 'x' and it goes on the x-axis (horizontal axis). It is the variable that the scientist changes in the experiment. The dependent variable is the 'y' and it goes on the y-axis (vertical axis). This is the variable that changes in the experiment because the independent variable changed.
*Direct Relationship- As 'x' increases, 'y' also increases.
*Indirect Relationship- not direct. Example; as x increases, y decreases.
*Proportional Relationship- If x doubles, y doubles. It is a linear relationship.
*Inverse- When x increases, y decreases. Y=k/x. Inverse is proportional.

Hey Nikhita! First off, I thought your post was awesome! Your blog is so pretty and cute! <3 <3 The one thing that caught my attention was the video clip you added in your post because it enables the reader to further deepen their knowledge in graphs. Smart, smart, smart (wink) For next time though, I think you should add pictures just to give the audience a visual idea of what something would look like. In this case, it would be the relationships your describing. Anyways, I look forward to your upcoming posts Nikhita! :) By the way, thanks for commenting on mine!
