the independs variable is like the input
dependent variable is the output
the independent variable influences the what dependent variable is going to be
so example in the equation y=2x where x is the number of oranges and y is the cost, x=independent variable y=dependent variable
so
we see 2 axises, points earned and number of sessions
obviously, the number of sessions influences the points earned becasue you learn more the more sessions you attend so
the horizontal axis or number of sessions is the independent variable and the vertical axis or points earned which is the dependent variable
it looks like for every 1 session attended about 1 point is earned so
y=x is the relation
it means that when x goes up, y goes up by the same rate
