The answer depends entirely on what the question is.
If you want too know how far you can go while travelling at v kilometres per hour over a period of h hours, then the dependent variable is the distance.
If you want too know how long it would take you to go s kilometres when travelling at v kilometres per hour, then the dependent variable is the time.

What is a dependnet variable?
In simplest terms, a dependent variable is the a variable that depends on another variable.For example, if you are doing a biology lab, you may measure the length of time you leave something in acid with the change that it makes in the mass of an object. The change in mass is a variable, and it is dependent on the length of time you leave the object in the acid - so it is the dependent variable.
Is time always on x-axis?
Typically the independent variable is plotted on the horizontal (x) axis. Usually time is an independent variable, and the other variables are dependent on time and other factors. In general, yes, plots involving time would show time as the x-axis.
What is a rate in math?
A rate is a ratio which measures a certain variable in an amount of time. The most common rate would be distance / time (which measures speed).
Is months of the year a categorical variable?
It depends on how the variable is used. At its simplest, it would be a nominal or categorical value but, if used as part of a time series, it would be an ordinal variable.
What is the rate of change from 1 minute to 4 minutes?
The rate of change requires two variables. Usually some physical measure and time (or distance), and the rate of change is the difference in the physical variable per unit change in time (or distance). The question contains only one variable.
On a distance time graph time is usually the what variable?
On a distance vs. time graph, time is usually the independent variable presented on the X axis in the Cartesian Coordinate System. The dependent variable would be distance, and would be presented on the Y axis.
What are dependent and independent variable in algebra?
the dependent variable is the y-value. the dependent variable means it relys on another variable for its answer. without the other variable this variable would not exist. the independent variable is the x-value. the independent variable can exist on its own without the dependent variable. i mention x-values and y-values... this is only if you are using an x and y value for your application. there are other applications... like speed... where the dependent variable for speed would be time and the independent variable for speed would be distance. and for acceleration the dependent variable would be speed and the independent variable would be distance.
How do you know the difference between the dependent and the independent variable?
The independent variable is one that does not depend on the other variable. A dependent variable "depends" on the other variable. Think about the distance traveled by a car over time. You have two variables in that, time and distance. Now think about which depends on the other. Does time depend on distance? No. Time will keep going even if the car stops. Does distance depend on time? Yes. The more time that goes on, the more distance is traveled. So distance is the dependent variable, because it depends on time. Time is the independent variable because it doesn't depend on distance.
What is a dependent varible?
A dependent variable is what is being measured in the experiment. Such as time, distance, volume, etc.
On the distance vs time graph time is represented on the x-axis as the?
Time is on the x-axis as it is the independent variable. The distance is the dependent variable as the distance travelled depends on how long the journey has been going. :)
What is the difference between a speed vs time graph and a distance vs time graph?
The dependent variable.
What is an example of an dependent variables?
A dependent variable is a variable that you (the experimenter) do not change. It changes in response to the Independent variable, which is what you change. For example: Say I was growing two plants and I wanted to see how they would grow dependent upon how much light they received; I would have one in the dark and one in natural light. The independent variable is how much light they received, and the dependent variable is how much they will grow in response to how much light they get.
What equation represents the relationship between the time and distance you walk at a constant rate and what are the dependent and independent variables?
At a constant rate: distance = time x speed Since you are calculating the distance based on the other two numbers, I would say that distance is the dependent variable (it is based on the values of the other variables).
Suppose you set a glass of water in direct sunlight for 2 hours and measure its temperature every 10 minutes What would be your dependent variable and what would be your independent variable?
Independent variable is time; dependent variable is temperature.
What is the dependent variable in a dominoes lab?
The time is the dependent variable in the dominoes lab.
How are independent and dependent variable related?
Independent variables can take values within a given boundary. The dependent variable will take values based on the independent variable and a given relationship at which the former can take its values.
Which is the dependent variable between average speed versus time?
Dependent variable is usually speed.
