Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Alayna parks her car in a lot that charges [tex]$b^{5 y}$[/tex] per quarter hour. The table shows the parking fee, in dollars, with respect to the time, in hours.

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
Time (hours) & 0.25 & 0.5 & 0.75 & 1 & 1.25 & 1.5 \\
\hline
Parking Fee & [tex]$\$[/tex] 0.50[tex]$ & $[/tex]\[tex]$ 1.00$[/tex] & [tex]$\$[/tex] 1.50[tex]$ & $[/tex]\[tex]$ 2.00$[/tex] & [tex]$\$[/tex] 2.50[tex]$ & $[/tex]\[tex]$ 3.00$[/tex] \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

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 determine the correct placement of the variables, we need to identify which variable is dependent and which is independent:

1. Determining the Independent and Dependent Variables:

- Time (hours): This is the independent variable because it is the variable that we can control or change. It is not affected by the parking fee but rather determines it.
- Parking Fee (dollars): This is the dependent variable because it depends on the amount of time (hours) Alayna's car is parked. The fee changes as a result of the changes in time.

2. Placement on the Graph:
- The independent variable (Time) should be placed on the x-axis (horizontal axis).
- The dependent variable (Parking Fee) should be placed on the y-axis (vertical axis).

Given these steps, the correct choices for the drop-down menus are:

- 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.

So the completed statements are:

- 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.
