Answer

An independent variable is one that stands alone and is not affected by any of the other variables while a dependent variable relies on the other factors. Using this definition, we can see that the independent variable is the number of months since the channel was started while the dependent variable is the number of subscribers. The independent variable (months) changes solely on its own and does not require any other factor to change. The dependent variable (subscribers) changes in relation to the independent variable (months) and increases based on that value.
