Received a PM asking me to respond:
is determined by a corerect idiom or determined from...
To the student who requested the response, please also post your question here in the thread in future. Thanks!

"determined by" is a correct idiom. "determined from" is not an acceptable substitute for "X is determined by Y."
Please note: I do not use the Private Messaging system! I will not see any PMs that you send to me!!
