number of weeks

Generally equations are in the form:

y = mx + b

Where

x is the independent variable, you can choose any value for x

y is the dependent variable. The value of y depends on x.

In the graph, the x-axis is number of weeks and y-axis is amount.

Amount depends on the number of weeks, which is the independent variable, here in this graph.
