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
a scale with diffrent numbers
Most graphs use two scales: a horizontal scale and a vertical scale. What is on the scales depends on what the graph is to be used for. For example: the vertical scale could show distance travelled, while the horizontal scale could show the time.
It is zero at the origin, positive above and negative below. Otherwise it can be numbered to any scale.
