.... then your graph is inverted.
It depends on which variable is independent, and which one is dependent (its value is determined by a function of the independent variable). So suppose that concentration is a function of an arbitrary length (the length is what determines concentration). The independent variable (length) is put on the horizontal axis, and the dependent variable (concentration) is put on the vertical axis.
The independent variable.
the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.
An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.
.... then your graph is inverted.
you choose the independent variable, for example to see if aspirin helps bee stings, you choose whether or not to put it on. Aspirin is the independent variable, probability is not involved.

The independent variable of an experiment is the variable that you change, and the dependent variable is the result of the independent variable.
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
The independent variable, or manipulating variable always affect the outcome of a dependent, or responsive, variable. For example, i have a fire going, and i want to put it out. I could use a range of materials. The range of materials is the independent variable, while the fire going out or not is the dependent variable. This shows a cause and effect.
Math: Independent variable is what you change. Dependent variable is what you measure.
