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.
A straight line on a graph means there is what kind of relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable.?
A straight line shows direct proportion. That means that equal changes in the independent variable always produce the same change in the dependent variable.
Is mass an independent variable?
It is an independent variable.
The variable that is measured in an experiment is the variable?
The Independent/Manipulative variable is the variable that you purposely change, and the Dependent/Responsive variable is the variable that changes as a rest of the Independent variable. You measure the dependent variable to see the effects of the Independent variable.
Does the independent variable affect the dependent variable?
yes, because dependent variable is made by independent variable
The independent variable should always be graphed on the?
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.
What represents the independent variable When a relationship is graphed on a Cartesian coordinate system?
In the Cartesian plane, the independent variable, if any, is usually plotted on the x-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.
When a function is graphed the independent variable is usually measured along the vertical axis?
True
On which axis of a graph should the independent variable be graphed?
the independent variable goes on the x-axis the dependent goes on the y-axis
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.
When a relationship is graphed on a Cartesian coordinate system what value is usually measured by the x axis?
independent variable.
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 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.
