Time normally goes on the x-axis as it is an independent variable. However, there may be some occasions when it goes on the y-axis.

Is time always on y-axis?

Time is usually plotted along the X axis.


What is usually plotted on the x and y axis of a line graph?

Normally, if the graph is scientific, the x axis will be time, and the y will be what you are measuring. however this is not ALWAYS the case, and in all actuality, anything can be on the x and y axis.


What is always graphed on the Y-axis?

Y-coordinate


In what axis is the abscissa is always zero?

One possible answer is the y-axis. However, there need not be any y 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.


The vertical or y-axis of a graph always show is the?

The Vertical Y-Axis Shows The Frequency.


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.


Which side is the x-axis?

In the Cartesian plane ( Graph Paper) , the x-axid is ALWAYS the horizontal axis., and the y-axis is always the vertical axis.


What is the horizontal or vertical number line on a coordinate plane?

They are the axes. Usually horizontal = x-axis, vertical = y-axis. But that need not always apply. In a displacement-time or speed-time graph, for example, the horizontal axis = t-axis (for time).


Is the x coordinate of a point on the y axis always zero never zero or sometimes zero?

The y-axis has the equation x=0, so every point on the y-axis has an x coordinate of zero.


What is represented on the y axis to draw an ogive?

The y-axis of an ogive is always the cumulative frequencies while the x-axis is the class boundaries.


What is a vertical line of a coordinate system?

It is the vertical axis along which the abscissa are measured.Often it is the y-axis, but not always. On a distance time chart, for example, you will probably have t and d-axes rather than x and y. On a probability chart, the vertical axis is the probability, not y. In 3-D space, it is the z-axis that is vertical, not y.
