PLEASE HELP AND DON"T ANSWER JUST FOR POINTS NEED MAJOR HELP Wildlife conservationists are concerned that the deer population might not be constant across the National Forest. The scientists found that there were 144 deer in 16 square mile area for the forest. In another part of the forest, conservationists counted 117 deer is a 13 square mile area. Yet a third conservationist counted 24 deer in a 216 square acre plot of the forest. Do conservationists need to be worried?

What’s the independent and dependent variable? Why?

an independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable, a dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment and the dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

the independent is the amount of dear

and the dependent is how far they went

dear is independent because we are getting lower as the dependent is rising

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

the one below it is a function
