The "independent variable", which is plotted on the "x-axis" (horizontal axis), is the variable that can be "controlled/manipulated". In this case, this would be the type of metal chosen.
The "dependent variable" , which is plotted on the "y-axis" (vertical axis) is the "obtained value/measurement/result" (that "cannot be controlled/manipulated").
In this case, the "density", which is the "measured value" that corresponds to the selected "meal", is the "dependent variable".
