temperature (°c)	air conditioner use (min)
26	8
28	13
30	22
32	27
34	35

a. which variable is the independent variable?

b. which variable is the dependent variable?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify independent variable

The independent variable is the one that is manipulated or changed. Here, the outside air - temperature is being changed to observe its effect on air - conditioner use. So, the independent variable is the temperature.

Step2: Identify dependent variable

The dependent variable is the one that is measured and is affected by the independent variable. Here, the air - conditioner use is being measured as the temperature changes. So, the dependent variable is the air - conditioner use.

Answer:

a. Temperature (°C)
b. Air Conditioner Use (min)
