Practice makes perfect
We are given a relation between the place won in a track meet and the number of points that place finish is worth. Points depends on the place.
Therefore, we can say that the won place is the independent variable x and the number of points is the dependent variable y.
{(1,5),(2,3),(3,2),(4,1),(5,0)}
This means that the x-values in the ( x, y) coordinate pairs of the given relation represent the place won. The y-values represent the number of points that place finish is worth.
Table
Let the first column represent the place won in a track meet and the second column represent the number of points.
