How can you interpret the values of the slope?
The values of the slope of a line is a measure of the amount of change in the dependent (vertical) variable which accompanies a unit change in the ndependent (horizontal) variable.
What values do we plot on the y-axis of a graph?
It is usual to plot the values of the dependent variable on the y-axis. That is what you measure when you change something else, the independent variable.
Is dependent variable the variable that can't change?
Not exactly sure what you mean by "can't change." However, I if I do understand you correctly, the dependent variable CAN change. The dependent variable will change according to the independent variable's value and overall effect. For example, in an experiment involving water's effect on plants, the dependent variable may be the height of the plant or the glucose produced. Based on the amount of the independent variable (represented on the x axis of a data graph), the dependent variable will increase or decrease. In this case, both dependent values (glucose and height) would probably increase.
Does the dependent variable change?
no because you don't controll it but if you change the independent the dependent will change.
The difference between the independent and dependent variables?
Independent variables are variables that can be changed in an experiment, while dependent variables are variables that change as a result of an experiment. In other words, independent variables are what you change, and dependent variables are the results of the experiment.
