variables in an equation were reversed
Not what you're looking for?
If the variables in an equation were reversed, what would happen to the graph of the equation?
For example, how would the graph of y = x² relate to the graph of x = y²? When might such a reversal of variables be useful in the real world?
How does x=y relate to y=x? How about 2x = y and 2y=x? What about x^2 + y^2 = 49 versus y^2 + x^2 = 49? What other examples can you think of?
