A straight line shows direct proportion. That means that equal changes in the independent variable always produce the same change in the dependent variable.
A Dependent Variable!
Control Variable

an dependent variable is one that you change in an experiment
A variable
manipulated variable
It is the kind of variable that you purposely change.

The answer is variable.
A dependent variable depends on the independent variable. If you are doing an experiment about how temperature affects the heat of water then the independent variable would be the temperature, as that is what you are going to change, and the dependent variable the water as the temperature of the water depends on the temperature surrounding it.
The Temperature is the Independent Variable (50 degrees, 100 Degrees etc.) Whatever happens as a result of the temperature change is the dependent variable.

Do you mean "responding variable"? In a scientific investigation, you try to change only one thing to see what happens. The thing you change is the manipulated variable (also called the independent variable). The result of this change is the responding variable (also called the dependent variable). For example, what if you measure the temperature of a beaker of water, then put it in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then measure again. The change in the temperature from the room to the fridge is the manipulated variable (you controlled it). Any change in the water temperature is the responding variable. It responded to the change you made.
