The independent variable (such as time) is places on the x-axis of a graph. Always place the things that will never change on the x-axis. The dependent variable is then placed on the y-axis. The difference between the independent and dependent variable is that the independent variable in an experient does not change it is what stays constent, it is what is used to measure the dependent variable. On the other hand the dependent variable is what the experiment is testing for and what depends on the independent variable.
A title an independent variable a dependent variable and data
The x-axis, which is the dependent variable, and the y-axis, which is the independent variable.
The independent variable goes on the x-axis and the dependent variable goes on the y-axis.
The x-axis of a graph is always your independent variable and the y-axis is the dependent variable. The independent variable is so called because it can stand alone as data and does not depend on other information to make sense.
