One thing my teacher did to help us remeber dependent and independent variables is through a pneumonic device: DRY MIX

D depended
R result
Y y axis

M manipulate
I independent
X x axis

This determines where on a graph you’ll put each variable and what they mean. The dependent is the result of the manipulated variable, independent.

Answer:

dependent variables are variables that will change in an experiment and independent variables are variables that will never change during experiment
