Whichever axis you like. To some extent it depends on whether temperature is the independent or the dependent variable.
If the graph is of the temperature of some food when it has been in an over for different lengths of time, then the independent variable is the time and the temperature should be on the vertical axis. However, if the graph is of the temperature of the same food and the number of bacteria present in it, then the temperature is the independent variable and should be on the horizontal axis.

Would temperature or mass go on the x axis on a graph?
temperature would because it's controlled
Does the y axis go first?
the X axis goes first then the Y axis.
Which way does the Y axis go?
The standard way is vertical, up-down for the Y axis. The X axis is horizontal, left-right
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 independent variable go a graph?
In principle, wherever you want. However, it is customary to place the independent variable on the horizontal axis, and the dependent variable on the vertical axis.

Why do you put time on the horizontal axis and temperature on the vertical axis of graph?
When graphing, the independent value is traditionally on the x-axis (horizontal) and the dependentvalue on the y-axis (vertical).In this case:The temperature will depend on the time, and so the temperature is on the y-axis.Time cannot be the dependent value, because time does not depend on temperature. Time will go on know matter what.You should find that time will always be on the x-axis (except during the pendulum thing in physics where it's done the other way round), because time does not depend on anything. This arrangement is due to our way of reading from upper left to lower right.
Is temperature on the x or y axis?
It is usually on the y-axis because you are comparing it over time. However it can sometimes be on the x-axis.
What are the labels for x and y axis of an hr diagram?
The x axis is the temperature *Kelvin. While the y axis is the luminosity of the star.
What does the Hertzsprung-Russell compare?
They compare surface temperature (horizontal axis) and luminosity (vertical 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.
Does day go on the y axis and does time go on the x axis?
No, day goes on the x axis and time goes on the y axis.
What axis does the independent go on?
The x - axis
A graph of stars showing temperature on the x-axis and brightness on the y-axis is a?
parallax
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.
Which axis does the independent variable go on?
Y-axis dependent- X-axis
What axis does the independent variable go on?
x-axis
