Idependent
AN Interdependent variable is the Y axsis of a graph
Distance you read off directly from the graph. Speed is the rate of increase of distance, so it is the slope (gradient) of the graph.
The dependent variable goes first.
An independant variable should always be on the x-axis of a graph and the dependant variable on the y-axis.
A graph of distance against time.
A graph is constructed such that time (in hours) is the x-variable and distance (in miles) is the y-variable. If you plot the distance that a car travels on the graph traveling at a speed of 60 miles per hour, what is the slope of the graph?

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.
The dependent variable.
Distance equals Rate multiplied by Time D = RT
The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.
yes, if you mean that speed=distance divided by time, also known as distance/time
Distance from some fixed point.
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. :)
On a line graph, where is the dependent variable placed?
