Where time changes with respect to another variable? Are there applications for this (say, time dilation)? Are there instances where t (time) used as a function of another variable?

I know what dx/dt is. I want to know the implications for the inverse, where t changes with respect to x.

When time is a dependent variable. It's appropriate if you evaluate a time interval as measured by one observer relative to that observer's velocity relative to some other reference frame. It's not clear what that gains you.

dx/dt can be used when taking the constant acceleration graph relating velcocity to time and finding the accelerationg time graph by finding the derivitive.
