It will alter the apparent variation in the variable plotted using that axis.
Changing the vertical scale in a graph alters the way data is visually represented, affecting the perception of trends and relationships within the data. A compressed scale can exaggerate small differences, making trends appear more pronounced, while an expanded scale can diminish these differences, potentially masking important variations. Consequently, the choice of vertical scale can significantly influence interpretation and insights drawn from the data.
The scale of a graph significantly influences its appearance by altering the range and intervals of the axes, which can emphasize or de-emphasize trends and data points. A larger scale can make variations appear less pronounced, while a smaller scale can exaggerate differences, potentially misleading the viewer. Additionally, the choice of scale can affect the readability and clarity of the graph, impacting how easily the audience can interpret the information presented. Thus, careful consideration of scale is crucial for accurate data representation.

If you're talking about a graph then here's your answer... There are to axis's the x axis (horizontal) and the y axis (vertical). So your talking about the vertical scale so since a graph is shaped like an L the vertical part would contain the scale (numbers along the side) so that you can read a bar graph easier

What is the scale vertical axis
The scale of a vertical bar graph is written on the vertical axis.
The vertical axis!
by making the graph have an important missing part...(hope it helps!)
To reduce the vertical exaggeration of a profile, you can adjust the vertical scale to match the horizontal scale more closely. This can be achieved by either decreasing the vertical scale (e.g., using a smaller range for elevation) or increasing the horizontal scale (e.g., stretching the distance represented horizontally). Additionally, you can modify the data or representation to emphasize features without exaggerating their vertical representation.
Time (horizontal scale) versus Amplitude (vertical scale).

Yes, changing the vertical scale will affect how the graph looks. To see examples, go to one of the financial web sites on Google or Yahoo and pick a few stock charts. If you are looking at an intraday chart (activity that happened during one day), the price may vary a dollar or so, but may look to jump all over the place. This is because the scale may be set to start at $50 per share (minimum value of the vertical scale) up to $55 maximum. Change the scale from zero to $60 and you will see a graph that looks more like a smooth line (the changes won't look as dramatic or steep). Another way to change the scale is to use a logarithmic scale (where each step represents 10 times the previous step). This is useful in graphs that represent exponential growth or decay. On a standard scale, the graph could look like a sharp increase, then leveling off. On a logarithmic scale, the same data plotted may look more like a straight line.
