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.
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
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.

A dependent variable is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment. The dependent variable responds to the independent variable. It is called dependent because it "depends" on the independent variable. In a scientific experiment, you cannot have a dependent variable without an independent variable. Example: You are interested in how stress affects heart rate in humans. Your independent variable would be the stress and the dependent variable would be the heart rate. You can directly manipulate stress levels in your human subjects and measure how those stress levels change heart rate.
