the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.
The independent variable is the value being manipulated or changed, while the dependent variable is the observed result of the independent variable being manipulated. "IF" you change the independent variable, "THEN" what happens to the dependent variable?
the independent variable is changed, and the experimental value measure. So you control the independent variable and change it to measure the results
a graph of the independent variable and dependant that shows a graph with a fixed gradient (I.E a line graph) The equation of the graph will be given by y = mx +c where m is the gradient and c is a constant
A dependent variable depends on the other factors while an independent variable does not depend on the other factors.
