A dependent variable is a variable that you (the experimenter) do not change. It changes in response to the Independent variable, which is what you change.
For example:
Say I was growing two plants and I wanted to see how they would grow dependent upon how much light they received; I would have one in the dark and one in natural light. The independent variable is how much light they received, and the dependent variable is how much they will grow in response to how much light they get.
A dependent variable is one whose result is based of of the effects of another variable, this is usually the value being measured in an experiment or graph. For example, the graph of velocity is distance over time, since time can not be changed or manipulated, distance is the dependent variable, it is "the slave" of time. Its result depends on that of time
The y in the slope intercept form is a dependent variable.
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 3
An example of a dependent variable is the growth of a plant
If the independent variable is changes, the dependent variable will react to it. For example: the amount sunlight coming in a room (independent variable) changes, the growth of the plant (dependent variable) will change because of the sunlight being effected
Dependent variable - effect
Independent variable - cause
The dependent variable is the thing the changes based on the independent variable. So for example, if you were timing how long different amounts of water take to boil. The time would be the dependent variable because the time depends on the amount of water. the amount of water does not depend on the time.
Some other examples of dependent variables are:
-time it takes to travel to school using different means of transport
-Rainfall in different months
-how much money you've saved after x amount of months working
Independent and dependent variables are the variables that change during the course of an experiment. An example might be an experiment on how temperature affects plant growth. Changing the temperature is the independent variable, while the level of plant growth that results is the dependent variable.
Dependent variable change and independent variables do not change.

Dependent and Independent variables
One is dependent and one is independent
An example of an independent variable is how many people to feed. An example of a dependent variable is how many eggs.
Independent and dependent variables are the variables that change during the course of an experiment. An example might be an experiment on how temperature affects plant growth. Changing the temperature is the independent variable, while the level of plant growth that results is the dependent variable.
Independent and dependent are types of variables. These variables are used mostly in science and math. When using independent variables you can control them dependent variables you cannot.
Dependent variable change and independent variables do not change.
Examples of independent variables are:AgeRaceeducationWhy age is independent? because you can assign many variables that are dependent to age. Example: maturity, character, experience, and similar others.Race is also independent since many variables can be due to race. Example: color of the skin, language, belief, height, and similar others.But a race may also become a dependent variable if you relate it to- example the european continent. European continent now becomes the independent variable and races, beliefs, religions, and languages are dependent variables.
the independent variable controls the dependent variables
Every time the independent variables change, the dependent variables change.Dependent variables cannot change if the independent variables didn't change.
it is....
Independent variables are those that you change in an experiment. Dependent variables are the ones that you measure in an experiment. Dependent variables are influenced by the independent variables that you change, so they are dependent upon the independent variable. Generally, experiments should have only one independent variable.
The test variable (independent variable) controls the outcome variable (dependent variable).
Independent variables are the input value of a function (usually x) and dependent variables are the output value of the function (usually y).
You can have many dependent variables. If you measure the length, width and height of a solid block of metal and have temperature as the changing variable; the length, width, and height can be the dependent variables.
