Which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable when using the x and y axis on a graph?

My sixth grade sister needs math help and for the life of me I can't remember which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable when using the y and x axis on a graph. Thanks!Which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable when using the x and y axis on a graph?
X is the independent variable. Because you can pick any value you want for X.

Y is the dependent variable because its value is calculated based on the value you chose for X.
