    Hi

    Please can some one tell me how you know which product to put on which axis, is there a rule for what goes to the x axis and which one to y as it seems to not stay consistent in the bpp revision book ? And I don’t want to get the optional point or feasible region incorrect

    Thank you

    In linear Relationship (y=a+bx)
    Y – is a dependent variable, depending on its values on X.
    X – is independent veritable, whose values help to determine value of Y.

    Hi thanks for that but I don’t see how I still know which one to put on axsis and which on y as if there is two products which seem to have same details but different quantities etc which is the dependant one and which is independent variable – I meant which product out of two goes on which axsis – I can’t see (maybe being thick) any difference that would suggest one was independent and one wasn’t ? Thank you

    @Mo why dont you solve the question both ways and see if there is a difference in the answer that will clear the confusion i guess

    HI I can imagine it is awful, I only do two at a time – all i can do with work. F4 was much easier than I imagined – I just listened to the lectures over and over and read technical articles – listened to the lecturers advise of don’t write anything but just keep reading so that in time you can predict what is coming next – if that is any help.
    good luck- you must spend hours studying having to do three.
