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.
On a line graph, where is the dependent variable placed?
In the vertical direction.
The independent variable typically goes on the x-axis and the dependent variable goes on the y-axis in a line graph for science.
The dependent variable is usually plotted on the "y" or ordinal axis.
The independent variable is plotted on the horizontal axis, or x axis. The dependent variable, or response variable is plotted on the vertical axis, or y axis.
It is called the dependent variable
Usually it's the y-axis.
A horizontal line
A scatter graph.

on a line graph, the independent variable is plotted on the horizontal x- axis, and the dependent variable is plotted on the vertical y- axis.
