You can tell which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable by changing the equation into an "if/then" statement.
Example: y = 3x
In this example, x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable. If you give me x, I will tell you y.
If x = 1, then y = 3
If x = 2, then y = 6
So you give me the independent variable, and then I will be able to determine the dependent variable.

The independent variable is plotted on what axis?
It depends on the number of variables and their nature: 2 variables, both independent: either axis 2 variables, one independent: x-axis 3 variables, all independent: any axis 3 variables, 2 independent: x or y-axis. 3 variables, 1 independent: x-axis. and so on.
How do the independent and dependent variables in an experiment compare?
the independent variable controls the dependent variables
Identifying independent variables and dependent variables?
how do u identify a independent variable
How do the test variables (independent variables) and outcome variables (dependent variables) in an experiment compare?
The test variable (independent variable) controls the outcome variable (dependent variable).
How do you pick out independent variables and dependent variables?
An Independent variable is what you control; you decide the focus of your experiment and what you control on the independent variable. Dependent variable is what you want to look at or find results for; you decide what you want to see from manipulating your independent variable.
