What axis do you read time?

Time is almost always an independent variable. Typically, independent variables are plotted along the horizontal axis.


The responding variable is displayed on what axis?

By convention, the variable that is changed (the independent variable) is displayed along the horizontal or x-axis. The variable that is measured (the dependent variable) is plotted along the vertical or y-axis. A responding variable is a dependent variable and would go along the y axis


What does the gradient of a graph tell you?

It tells you the rate of change of the variable mapped along the vertical axis relative to the change in the variable mapped along the horizontal axis.


In a bar graph which side is the horizontal scale on?

The horizontal scale typically runs along the bottom of the graph.


What in general is the value measured by the horizontal axis called?

The variable plotted along the horizontal (x) axis is termed the independent variable. The variable plotted along the vertical (y) axis is termed the dependent variable. Usually equations of curves are given in the form y = f(x) meaning that the y value is dependent on the x value.


What is the definition of x - axis?

The X axis is the horizontal(left-right) axis on a graph.


In a line graph where is the dependant variable plotted?

The usual way is to plot the independent variable on the horizontal, and the dependent variable on the vertical. There are some where the dependent is on the horizontal, though. Supply-Demand and Price graphs in Economics comes to mind, as an example.


Where do you put the independent and dependent variables on a graph?

The independent variable is along the bottom or horizontal or x axis. The dependent variable is up the left hand side or vertical or y axis


How big is a lot of land?

A lot is not typically a unit of measurement, it refers to a specific piece of land of any size which can be sold in an individual contract. A lot can potentially be any size. However, in the Caribbean, a lot of land is typically referred to a parcel of land that is 5000 sq ft in horizontal (planar) area. In this way a 'plot' or parcel of land is any portion of land that is referred to and can be of any size, but a lot of land represents 5000sq ft of horizontal land space. Horizontal land space is referenced since in areas where lands are developed along sloping hillsides, the land area bounded as though it was horizontally flat and not taken as the sloping area.


Which variables should be on the x-axis and which shoukd be on the y-axis?

Normally the vertical y-axis is considered the dependent variable and the horizontal x-axis the independent variable. ie the variable plotted up the y-axis depends upon the variable plotted along the x-axis.


An uncontrolled variable that changes along with the independent variable?

The dependent variable.


This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along a horizontal plane?

This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along a horizontal plane.
