x is used a lot to represent an independent variable. When time is the independent variable t is often used as well.

Which axis holds the independent variable?

An independant variable should always be on the x-axis of a graph and the dependant variable on the y-axis.


What variable is affected by the independent cariable in the scientific method?

The variable affected by the independent variable in the scientific method is the dependent variable. This is the variable being measured or observed in an experiment, and its outcome is influenced by changes in the independent variable.


How does the independent and a dependent variable compare in a experiment?

In an experiment, the independent variable is manipulated or controlled by the researcher, while the dependent variable is measured to see the effect of the independent variable. The independent variable is the cause, while the dependent variable is the effect. Changes in the independent variable are expected to cause changes in the dependent variable.


What is the difference between the independent and dependant variable s in an experiment?

The independent variable is the variable that is purposely changed or manipulated by the researcher. The dependent variable is the variable that is measured or observed as a result of changes in the independent variable. In other words, the independent variable causes a change in the dependent variable.


What type of variable is the part of the experiemnt that is afftected by the independent variable?

The variable that is affected by the independent variable is called the dependent variable. It is the outcome or response that is being measured or observed in an experiment. The dependent variable is expected to change in response to changes in the independent variable.

Horizontal axis


Where is the independent in a line graph?

The independent variable is graphed along the x-axis.


What have in common independent and dependent variables?

Independent and dependent variables are graphed on the axes of a rectangular grid (e.g. graph paper). The important thing is to understand which is which. The independent variable is graphed on the horizontal (x-) axis. In an experiment you choose values of the independent variable and measure the values of the dependent variable (it "depends' on the other). The dependent variable is graphed on the vertical (y-) axis.


When a relationship is graphed on a Cartesian coordinate system what represents the independent variable?

In the Cartesian plane, the independent variable, if any, is usually plotted on the x-axis.

What is an independent variable That has to do with science?

When graphing in science, the independent variable is the variable graphed on the x-axis; the dependent variable is the variable graphed on the y-axis. To determine the name of the variable, one only needs to find the variable changed by the other variable and the variable remaining unaffected by the other variable. For example, someone wanted to find the the increased temperature of water over a stove during a period of time. Since increasing water temperature cannot affect time and increasing time can affect the water becomes the dependent variable and time becomes the independent variable.


What is the independent variable on graphs?

it is the variable that you change during an experiment and is placed on the x axis. for example, if you are checking for the effect of light intensity on water uptake by a plant, the independent variable is the different light intensity values that you have and the dependent variable is the rate of water uptake which will be on the y axis.


What is the dependent and independent variable when you measure the absorption of heat by color?

For dependent and independent variable, remember DRY MIX:D - dependent variableR - response you are recording in your notebookY - graphed on the Y-axisM - the thing manipulated by the scientistI - independent variableX - graphed on the X-axisSo for absorption of hear by color:the dependent variable is the absorption of heat: that's the response you are recording and when you graph it, this value goes on the Y-axis.the independent variable is the color: that's the thing you manipulated and when you graph it, this value goes on the X-axis.


The independent variable is the factor adjusted by the experimenter?

It can be but not always. The experimenter may just have to take the independent variable as it happens.
