No, they are not.The constant varible is what stays the same and the dependent varible is whats effected by the change (the independent varibles).
The y-axis. Although it is possible for both variables to be independent, or both dependent.
the dependent varible
An independent variable is one which does not rely on another variable for its value. For example, in the slope intercept form: y = 2x + 3 The x is the independent variable and the y is the dependent variable. The x can be set to anything, therefore it is independent. The value of y is dependent on x for its value.
A dependent variable is what is being measured in the experiment. Such as time, distance, volume, etc.
