What are the independent variable and the dependent variable?

Answer 1

An independent variable is the variable you can change in an experiment. On a graph, it's on the X-axis. A dependent variable is the result of changing the independent variable. It is literally dependent on it. The dependent variable goes on the Y-axis.

Answer 2

In science, an independent variable is the factor that is changed in an experiment. The dependent variable is the variable that is measured in an experiment. For instance, if you are investigating the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction, the temperature is the independent variable, and the rate is the dependent variable.

Answer 3

An independent variable is a variable that is controlled by you. For instance, if you were doing an experiment to she which liquid makes plants grow faster, you could choose coke, Sprite, water, and lemonade. Those would be your independent variables. The height the plant grew after using each substance individually would be your dependent variable, because it is DEPENDENT on the chemicals in the substance to make it grow. The independent variable is controlled by the experimenter and is not the result of the lab.

Answer 4

let us consider y=x+2 , here y is depend on x so the y is dependent variable and x is independent variable because it is not dependent on anyone.
