An independent variable is a controlled variable while the dependent is the result of the independent variable.

Ex.
If I increase the height of the ramp (i.v.), then the car will go faster (d.v.) because I raised the ramp.

On a graph the indecent variable would be in the y axis and the dependent on the x axis
