The answer is a dependent variable. A variable that changes in response to another variable is called a dependent variable.
The dependent variable.
An independent variable is a variable which, in the context of the experiment or the observations, can affect the dependent variable but is not affected by it. By contrast, the dependent variable is affected by changes in the independent variable. It is quite possible that there is no independent variable, as such, and each variable affects the other.
The dependent variable has an inverse linear relationship with the dependent variable. When the dependent increases, the independent decreases, and conversely.
The standard notation is to make y the dependent variable in linear regression.
