OBJECTIVES
What is the difference between
independent and dependent variables?
 Independent variable is a variable that
will change by taking on different values.
It changes independently. In a relation,
independent variable controls the
dependent variable.
 It is generally represented by the
variable or what is referred to as
𝑥 −
the value.
𝑥 −

Basketball
OBJECTIVES
What is the difference between
 Dependent variable is a variable that is
affected by the independent variable, and
it changes in response to the independent
variable. In a relation, dependent variable
depends on the independent variable.
 It is generally represented by the
variable or what is referred
𝑦 −
to as the value.
𝑦 −

Basketball
OBJECTIVES
How do we know
which variable is independent and
which variable is dependent?
INDEPENDENT
VARIABLE
DEPENDENT
VARIABLE
It belongs on the x-axis
(horizontal line)
Identifies the input values
for a given function
A variable that represents a
quantity that is being
manipulated in an
experiment.
It belongs on the y-axis
(vertical line)
Identifies the outputs of the
function
A variable that represents a
quantity whose value
depends on how the
independent variable is
manipulated.

Basketball
OBJECTIVES
How do we know
which variable is independent and
which variable is dependent?
INDEPENDENT
VARIABLE
DEPENDENT
VARIABLE
Changed in a scientific
experiment to test the
effects on the dependent
variable.
A variable that stands alone
and does not respond to
other variables.
Cause
Changes in response to the
independent variable.
A variable whose value
depends on that of another.
Effect

Remembering Variables With DRY MIX
The DRY MIX acronym can help keep the variables straight:
 D is the dependent variable
 R is the responding variable
 Y is the axis on which the dependent or responding
variable is graphed (the vertical axis)
 M is the manipulated variable or the one that is
changed in an experiment
 I is the independent variable
 X is the axis on which the independent or
manipulated variable is graphed (the horizontal axis)

OBJECTIVES
 Can you give some examples of
dependent and independent variables
in our lives?
Let me ask a question…

Basketball
OBJECTIVES
 How do you see the importance of
independent and dependent variables
in your daily living?

Basketball
OBJECTIVES
 Why is it important to identify
independent and dependent variables
in performing an experiment in your
Science subject?
 Understanding the differences
between independent and
dependent variables will help to
make all your science experiments
more successful.

Basketball
OBJECTIVES
 What is the difference between
 The independent variable is what you
change, and the dependent variable
is what happens because of the
change.
Generalization

Basketball
OBJECTIVES
 How do we represent independent and
dependent variables in mathematical
equations?
 Independent variable is represented
by “x” ,
while dependent variable is
represented by “y”.
