If you measure the temperature every hour, then time is the independent variable (value), and temperature is the dependent variable (value).

a dependent variable is one whose value depends on the value of another called the independent variable, as it changes. We often choose y as dependent and x as independent For example in the equation y = 3x + 2 x is independent; whatever you change it to y is dependent upon it If x = 1 y = 5 If x = 2 y = 8
because it can change according to the independent variable. this dependent variable depends on the independent variable for its output. the independent variable is not affected by the dependent variable because the independent variable if found out first.
The dependent variable is on the vertical y axis and the independent on the horizontal x axis In the equation for example y = 3x then y is dependent on the independent variable x
a DEPENDENT variable is one of the two variables in a relationship.its value depends on the other variable witch is called the independent variable.the INDEPENDENT variable is one of the two variables in a relationship . its value determines the value of the other variable called the independent variable.
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.
