What is the
difference between
independent and
dependent
variable?
Independent
Variable
It is a variable that will
change by taking on
different values.
It changes independently.
Controls the dependent
variable.
Generally represented by
the x-variable or what is
referred to as the x-value.
Dependent
Variable
It is a variable that is
affected by the
independent variable.
It changes in response to
the independent variable.
Depends on the
independent variable.
Generally represented by
the y-variable or what is
referred to as the y-value.
