Detailed explanation-1: -The independent variable belongs on the x-axis (horizontal line) of the graph and the dependent variable belongs on the y-axis (vertical line).
Detailed explanation-2: -A dependent variable is one whose value varies in response to the change in the value of an independent variable. It is the outcome of an experiment or statistical analysis; hence, also termed a left-hand-side variable usually represented as ‘Y’ on the graph.
Detailed explanation-3: -A dependent variable is the variable that changes as a result of the independent variable manipulation. It’s the outcome you’re interested in measuring, and it “depends” on your independent variable. In statistics, dependent variables are also called: Response variables (they respond to a change in another variable)
Detailed explanation-4: -The dependent variable goes on the y-axis, or vertical axis.
