As we can see we have the next equation


h=2d+1

where h is the dependent variable and d is the independent variable

So we agree, because d does not depend on the height, but the height depends on the days

In order words

An independent variable is a variable that represents a quantity that is modified in an experiment. In this case d

A dependent variable represents a quantity whose value depends on how the independent variable is modified. In this case h
