An independent variable is a variable that isn't affected by something else. A dependent variable is a variable that's affected by changes in the independent variable.
If changes in one variable do not affect the outcome of another variable, then the second variable is independent. A variable that is not independent is dependent.
Its the independent one; because you change it, the dependent variable will be affected.
An independent variable is the one that you change in the experiment. A dependent variable is the one that you measure, it changes depending on the independent variable.
A dependent variable is one that changes based on changes of the independent variable. Or we can say it depends on whatever happens to the independent variable.

Dependent Variable - Note the root word DEPEND. So a dependent variable is when on variable depends on/affects the other.
The dependent variable is the one that changes.
an dependent variable is one that you change in an experiment
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
A dependent variable is a factor in an experiment that is influenced by another factor. An example might help to clarify. You are performing an experiment in which you are observing how sunlight affects plant height. Plant height is the dependent variable because it is dependent upon how much sunlight the plant receives. Sunlight is an example of an independent variable. It is not influenced by anything in this experiment, but may be changed to observe its effect on the dependent variable. It is possible to have more than one dependent variable in an experiment, but only one independent variable.
A dependent variable is one in whose experimental or analytical value is determined by the value of the independent variable. An independent variable is not determined by any other variable, but rather is an input value. For example in the equation y = 3x y is dependent and determined by the value of the independent variable x
Independent variable is one that does not vary with respect to other variables while other variables called the dependent variables varies with the variation of the independent variable. for ex: if 'x' is is an independent variable that represents say 'time' lets take another variable the dependent like volume(v) . now we say the volume (v) varies with respect to time and not the other way. so, here 'x' is independent variable & 'v' is dependent variable
