On a distance vs. time graph, time is usually the independent variable presented on the X axis in the Cartesian Coordinate System. The dependent variable would be distance, and would be presented on the Y axis.

distance time graph is a graph traveled in a graph which shows how much we have traveled in equal period of time.
On a distance vs. time graph, time is usually the independent variable presented on the X axis in the Cartesian Coordinate System. The dependent variable would be distance, and would be presented on the Y axis.
Distance is usually represented on the y-axis of a distance-time graph. The x-axis typically represents time.

The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.
Time is on the x-axis as it is the independent variable. The distance is the dependent variable as the distance travelled depends on how long the journey has been going. :)
If a car travels at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour, then the graph of distance vs. time will be a straight line with a slope of 60. This means that for every hour that passes, the car will have traveled 60 miles. The equation for this line would be y = 60x, where y is the distance traveled in miles and x is the time in hours.
Well, a letter below a graph usually labels that axis, which is usually the x-axis. In a distance vs. time graph, the letter on the y-axis is usually D for distance, and the letter on the x-axis is usually T for time. That's about the best I can tell you without seeing the graph

The horizontal axis usually represents the independent variable. One example is time. Time will change regardless of what problem you are analyzing with a graph. It could be seconds elapsed in a motion graph. Or it could be months, in a sales chart, for example. Distance could be another example of an independent variable. It just depends on what type of problem you are graphing.
Since the distance depends on the time, the distance goes on the y-axis. The scale will depend on the data you have.
