Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Alayna parks her car in a lot that charges by the quarter hour. The table shows the parking fee, in dollars, with respect to the time, in hours.

| Time (hours) | 0.25 | 0.5 | 0.75 | 1 | 1.25 | 1.5 |
|--------------|------|-----|------|---|------|-----|
| Parking Fee | [tex]$0.50| $[/tex]1.00|[tex]$1.50 |$[/tex]2.00| [tex]$2.50| $[/tex]3.00|

Time is the [tex]$\square$[/tex] variable and should be placed on the [tex]$\square$[/tex]. Parking fee is the [tex]$\square$[/tex] variable and should be placed on the [tex]$\square$[/tex].

To correctly identify the variables and their placements, we need to understand the relationships between them:

1. Time is the (independent/dependent) variable:
- Time is typically the independent variable because it is what we are changing to observe its effect on another variable.
- Therefore, Time is the independent variable.

2. and should be placed on the (x-axis/y-axis):
- The independent variable is usually placed on the x-axis in a graph.
- Therefore, Time should be placed on the x-axis.

3. Parking fee is the (independent/dependent) variable:
- The parking fee depends on the amount of time parked, making it the dependent variable.
- Therefore, Parking fee is the dependent variable.

4. and should be placed on the (x-axis/y-axis):
- The dependent variable is usually placed on the y-axis in a graph.
- Therefore, Parking fee should be placed on the y-axis.

Putting it all together:

- Time is the independent variable and should be placed on the x-axis.
- Parking fee is the dependent variable and should be placed on the y-axis.
