Each question on a math quiz is worth 5 points. The equation p = 5n relates the number of questions answered correctly, 1, and the points earned on the quiz. p. Which of the following is true?

This choice incorrectly identifies the dependent variable. In the given equation, 'n' (the number of questions answered correctly) is the independent variable, as it determines the value of 'p' (points scored). The dependent variable must be the one that changes in response to the independent variable.

This option misinterprets the equation. The '5' is a constant multiplier that signifies how many points are awarded per question, not a variable. The dependent variable should be the total points scored (p), which changes based on the number of questions answered correctly.

This statement is inaccurate because it describes a ratio rather than identifying a variable. The equation relates points to questions answered correctly, but it does not establish the number of questions per point as a dependent variable. Instead, it simply shows how many points are awarded based on the number of questions.
