In the Cartesian plane, the independent variable, if any, is usually plotted on the x-axis.
It's known as the X-axis. Most of the time used for the Independent Variable. Also used for the run (if on a Cartesian Plane) if doing slope. It does not have a Direct Definition, but is called the X-axis.
The y-axis is the vertical line that is perpendicular to the horizontal line of the x-axis on the Cartesian plane
The independent variable is always on the x-axis of a coordinate plane. The dependent variable is always on the y-axis. This is true because y always depends on x.
