Can you skip numbers on the x-axis on a graph?
You cannot do it as this will affect the shape of the graph. The x-axis, like the y-axis, must go in order. What is the point of them giving you values of x-axis if you can skip it?
On a graph where does the independent variable go?
Usually on the horizontal axis.
Where does the independent data go on a graph?
The independent variable goes on the x-axis while the dependent variable goes on the y-axis. :)
How do you graph independent and dependent variables?
Independent = input a.k.a. x-value Dependent = output a.k.a. y-value Dependent variables go on y axis. Independent variables go on x axis. Time is almost always independent and that is why it nearly always on x axis. Time doesn't depend on anything in most experiments. But many things depend on it. Those will go on the y axis. If you have an object cooling, we plot a temperature time graph. The temperature (y axis) is dependent on the time (x axis) but not the other way round. If you consider the area of a parachute and its time of flight, then time depends on the area and so time being dependent on the area goes on the y axis. So in short: the independent variable is what you can control and goes on the x- axis. the dependent variable is what results from the experiment and goes on the y-axis.
How do you graph 5x-4y equals -15?
You are solving for x and y. If x is set equal to 1 and y is set equal to 4, then you have 5-20=-15. You can graph this by placing a point on the graph corresponding to x and y. That is, on the x axis you would go over 1 and on the y axis you would go up 5. Now if x is set equal to 5, then that is 25, so y must be set equal to 10. This is 25-40=-15. Then on the same graph, you go over 5 on the x axis and go up 10 on the y axis. Now you can draw a line between the two. All you have to do now is solve the equation for another set of numbers, and then put that point on the graph. With three points, you have sufficient information.
Why are x and y on a bar graph as axes?
x and y axis are on a bar graph because it tells the person making the graph where to go to start and finish.
Which way do the x-axis and the y-axis go on a bar graph?
The X axis is the horizontal line. The Y axis is the vertical line.

What should you do a bar graph on?
You would make it on graph paper so you can go by even axis...
On a graph where does the independent variable go?
Usually on the horizontal axis.
Where does the y axis go on a bar graph?
The Y axes goes on the top left of the bar graph, I believe.
Which way do the x-axis and the y- axis go in horizontal bar graph?
On a bar graph you have the X-Axis and the Y-Axis, the Y-Axis is a vertical line (straight line facing up )and the X-Axis is the horizontal line (straight line facing down) if you want to remember where the Y-Axis is then you say north to south and you draw that and if you want to remember where the X-Axis is then you just sat east to west or you say, Yay Xmas (christmas)
What comes first on a graph X or Y axis?
On a graph, the x-axis comes first. The x-axis can be described as a number line, for which the y-axis rests on. The z-axis rests on both.
What do ordered pairs mean on a graph?
On a graph, you have two axis, x and y. In an ordered pair, the first number is the x coordinate, and the second number is the y coordinate. On the x-axis, if the x-coordinate is negative then you go left. If the x-coordinate is positive, then you go right. On the y-axis, it works the same way. If the y-coordinate is negative, you go down, but if it is positive, then you go up. For example, if you had the ordered pair (-7,4), then you would go left seven spaces on the x-axis and up four spaces on the y-axis.
Where does the manipulated variable go on a graph?
The independent variable is usually on the bottom, running horizontally. The dependent variable is usually vertical, on the left of the graph.
What is travel time graph?
A graph with distance traveled on one axis and time on the other. Time will go on the x axis and distance on the y because distance depends on the time.
Where does the independent data go on a graph?
The independent variable goes on the x-axis while the dependent variable goes on the y-axis. :)
