Question

Where do the independent and dependent variable each appear on the graph

Answer 1

Answer: The independent variable is on the x-axis and the dependent variable is on the y-axis.

Explanation: Time here is the independent variable, because the rate at which time passes will not change no matter the population. The amount of people, however, will change depending on how much time has passed.

The independent variable is the variable which will not change even if the other variable changes. The dependent variable will change according to the independent variable; it is dependent on the independent variable.
