Question

● What is the independent variable and on which axis does it belong?

Answer 1

The independent variable is the variable that you manipulate or change in an experiment to observe its effect on another variable, known as the dependent variable. It is the presumed cause in a cause-and-effect relationship. In graphs, the independent variable is typically plotted on the x-axis (the horizontal axis).

For example, if you are studying how temperature affects the growth of plants, the temperature would be the independent variable, and it would be placed on the x-axis of the graph.
