Question 1047379: Does the temperature outside depend on the time of day, or does the time of day depend on the temperature outside? You first need to decide which axis will represent which quantity.
Which variable is dependent: temperature or time of day? Which variable is independent? Sketch a graph.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The temperature is the dependent variable, because it depends upon the time of day. As the time changes, the temperature changes. That puts temperature on the y-axis and time, which can be controlled or chosen, on the x-axis. The graph's labels would be temperature on the y and time on the x-axis, although specific hours aren't used here, but only the idea of the variability of temperature over time.
