Is x-axis dependent variable?
If there is an independent variable, then that is usually plotted along the x-axis. But there need not be one.
What is shown on a y-axis on a figure?
If there is one independent variable, and one or more dependent variables, then they would be plotted on the y-axis. If there are a mix of discrete and continuous variables, then the continuous variables should be plotted on the y-axis. In general, though, any variable can be plotted on the y-axis.
What does it mean when a graph slopes up in economics?
It means that the variable plotted on the vertical axis increases as the one plotted on the horizontal axis increase.
What is the plotted on each axis?
Anything variable that you like. If there is only one independent variable then conventionally that is plotted on the horizontal axis while other variables go on the vertical axis. But even this is not true for population pyramids.
What is the variable you plot on the x-axis?
The x variable, of course! If there are only two variables then the independent variable, if one exists, should be plotted on the x-axis.
Why does the independent variable go on the y axis?
The independent variable, if there is one, is usually plotted on the x-axis, not the y-axis. So the question is based on false premises. The practice of putting the dependent variable on the vertical, y-axis is just a matter of convention. There is no mathematical justification for it.
What the dependent variable?
The independent variable is the one that you control, and is plotted on the horizontal (x-) axis. The dependent variableis the one that changes according to your choice of x-value. It depends on the value of x. The dependent variable is plotted on the vertical (y-) axis.
What to put on an x axis of an average graph?
There's no such thing as an 'average' graph, but we can talk about a typical one.The independent variable of an equation in one variable is typically plotted alongthe x-axis of a typical graph.
What is plotted on the x axis of a line graph?
The independent variable - if there is one. A variable that is common to a number of pairs of variables that you wish to compare. For example, if you want to compare height and mass at various ages, the age would be on the x-axis.
What isindependent variable in science?
An independent variable is the one that when plotted should go on the x-axis. The independent variable, as the name suggests, is not dependent on anything; if you're conducting an experiment, it would be the variable that you have control over to affect the results.
What does x axis show on a line graph?
X and Y can be literally anything. It depends on what the graph is designed to show.
Which type of graph would best represent the differences in size between two variables?
A scatter graph with one variable plotted along the x-axis and the other along the other axis.
