The dependent variable.

The independent variable is along the bottom or horizontal or x axis. The dependent variable is up the left hand side or vertical or y axis
I believe you meant the "independent" variable, and it is the X axis. The Y axis (the vertical one) is for the dependent variable.
If you believe that one of the variables depends on the other then the dependent variable should go on the y axis. If they are dependent on each other (or both dependent on something else) or if they are independent then do whatever you like.
If it is called the "y-axis", that means it refers to variable "y".
The vertical axis of a graph, often referred to as the y-axis, typically represents the dependent variable or the outcome being measured. It runs vertically from the bottom to the top of the graph and is labeled with units appropriate to the data being displayed. The values on this axis illustrate how the dependent variable changes in relation to the independent variable, which is usually plotted along the horizontal axis (x-axis).
