The independent variable is along the bottom or horizontal or x axis. The dependent variable is up the left hand side or vertical or y axis

Do you put independent variable on the x-axis?

Usually, yes. Obviously, only if you have one: the two variables could be inter-dependent.


What is a easy definition of an independent variable?

Independent variables, namely a quantity change will not cause except the dependent variable other than the amount of change. Only by the independent variables to a physical quantities to express, it is by the function relation is correct The dependent variable, a quantity change will cause in addition to other than the dependent variable amount change. Put the dependent variables as independent variable, is to determine the relationship between a big physical quantities. Variables, it is to point to have no fixed value, can change the number Constant DuoZhong type, and every type is there is a data type, have integers, bytes, characters, floating point, enumeration, etc.


How do you plot concentration against length in a graph?

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.


What is dependent and independent variables in the scientific method?

The independent variable is the one thing in the experiment that does change. The dependent variable "depends" on the independent variable. For example if you were testing to see how well plants grow in the dark, and you put one plant in a closet and the other by a window. The independent variable would be the amount of sunlight that each plant gets. The dependent variable would be if the plants grew or not because it depends on how much sunlight each plant got.


Where on the graph would I put the independent variable?

Normally on the horizontal x axis
