Definition
-
Independent Variable: Anything which is completely independent and its quantity do not depend on any other factor then it is called Independent Variable.
-
Dependent Variable: Anything which increases or decreases with the quantity of any other factor or it is dependent on any other factor then it is called Dependent Variable.
Notes
Some Applications:
-
Independent Variable: Anything which is completely independent and its quantity do not depend on any other factor then it is called Independent Variable.
-
Dependent Variable: Anything which increases or decreases with the quantity of any other factor or it is dependent on any other factor then it is called a Dependent Variable.
-
For example, If more electricity is consumed, the bill is bound to be high. The amount of electric bill depends on the quantity of electricity used. We say that the quantity of electricity is an independent variable (or sometimes control variable) and the amount of electric bill is the dependent variable.
-
The relation between the dependent variable and the independent variable is shown through a graph.
For example,
The following table gives the quantity of petrol and its cost.
| No. of Litres of petrol | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 |
| Cost of petrol in ₹ | 500 | 750 | 1000 | 1250 |
Plot a graph to show the data.
Solution:
- Let us take a suitable scale on both the axes.
- Mark the number of litres along the horizontal axis.
- Mark cost of petrol along the vertical axis.
- Plot the points: (10,500), (15,750), (20,1000), (25,1250).
- Join the points.

Example
| Sum deposited | Simple interest for a year |
| ₹ 100 | ₹ `(100 xx 1 xx 10)/100` = ₹ 10 |
| ₹ 200 | ₹ `(200 xx 1 xx 10)/100` = ₹ 20 |
| ₹ 300 | ₹ `(300 xx 1 xx 10)/100` = ₹ 30 |
| ₹ 500 | ₹ `(500 xx 1 xx 10)/100` = ₹ 50 |
| ₹ 1000 | ₹ 100 |
| Deposit (in ₹) | 100 | 200 | 300 | 500 | 1000 |
| Annual S.I. (in ₹) | 10 | 20 | 30 | 50 | 100 |
- Corresponding to ₹ 250 on the horizontal axis, we get the interest to be ₹ 25 on the vertical axis.
- Corresponding to ₹ 70 on the vertical axis, we get the sum to be ₹ 700 on the horizontal axis.

Example
| Hours of ride | Distance covered |
| 1 hour | 30 km |
| 2 hours | 2 × 30 km = 60 km |
| 3 hours | 3 × 30 km = 90 km |
| 4 hours | 4 × 30 km = 120 km and so on. |
| Time (in hours) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Distance covered (in km) | 30 | 60 | 90 | 120 |
Horizontal: 2
