It's a matter of convention, a little like placing the forks to the left of the plate and knives to the right.
The x-axis on a graph typically represents the independent variable, or the variable being controlled or manipulated. It is also known as the horizontal axis and is where you would plot the values of the independent variable being studied.
independant variable
in any graph on horizontal axis we keep the independent variable and on vertical axis the dependent variable. similarly in stress strain diagram the strain is independent variable and stress is dependent variable so due to this reason strain is kept on x-axis and stress is kept on y-axis.
x is independent because of the x axis and y axis on a coordinate plane.
yes the independent variable goes on the x-axis
The independent variable is on the x axis (that is the horizontial line).ÊÊ The independent varaible is also known as the one you can control or change.
The x - axis
The X axis
In general, y-axis values are the values that depend on the x-axis values.
Generally speaking, yes. The variable x is generally used as the independent variable. And y is generally the variable the depends on the value of x. So in most examples the x axis and the "independent" axis are the same.
It depends on the number of variables and their nature: 2 variables, both independent: either axis 2 variables, one independent: x-axis 3 variables, all independent: any axis 3 variables, 2 independent: x or y-axis. 3 variables, 1 independent: x-axis. and so on.
The x values are on the horizontal axis and the y values are on the vertical axis.
