Dependent & Independent Variables
Tap to feed machine
The Independent Variable (Input) is what you choose to put in.
The Dependent Variable (Output) depends on the machine's rule.
Input ($x$)

{{ val }}
NUMBER CRUNCHER
{{ s1.currentInput }}
Output ($y$)
Dependent

{{ s1.status[idx] === 'done' ? calculateY(val) : '?' }}
Drag to sort variables
{{ scenario.text }}
Independent (Input)
The part you choose or that happens freely
{{ s2.placed.independent.label }}
{{ s2.placed.independent.var }}
Dependent (Output)
The part that changes as a result
{{ s2.placed.dependent.label }}
{{ s2.placed.dependent.var }}
Variables to Sort

Sorted!
Tap to complete table
Use the equation to find the Dependent ($y$) values for each Independent ($x$) input.
Equation:
Input (x)
Independent
Output (y)
Dependent
{{ row.x }}
{{ row.currentY }}
{{ row.currentY }}
Tap to plot points
Plot the pairs from your table onto the coordinate plane.
