It does not have to.
The independent variable, if there is any, usually goes on the x axis. Since time, particularly for time series, is often an independent variable, it goes on the x axis. However, if I were studying the time interval between the oldest and youngest sibling (brother or sister) in families of different size, I would plot the family size on the x axis and time on the y axis. In this case, the family size is the independent variable and the time [interval] the dependent.
The horizonal axis (x)
You cannot do it as this will affect the shape of the graph. The x-axis, like the y-axis, must go in order. What is the point of them giving you values of x-axis if you can skip it?
X axis is time. Y-axis is distance traveled
time is on the x axis and distance is on the y axis
Time is plotted on the HORIZONTAL axis. That may or may not be the x-axis. If I choose to call the distance X, then X will be plotted on the vertical axis!
Usually the x-axis of a bar graph shows a control range, and is plotted on the bottom of the graph. Time is a common x-axis example.

The x-axis is time and the y-axis is velocity.
The y axis is going up on the graph and the x axis is going sideways on the graph
X axis is time. Y-axis is distance traveled
A position-time graph, is one in which position is plotted on the y-axis and the time is on the x-axis. A position-time graph is similar to a distance-time graph, but direction of motion in the y-axis.
The X axis is the horizontal line. The Y axis is the vertical line.

it depends on what you want to do like distance and time on a line graph it does not madder
you can't....it's merely impossible! Assuming it is a graph of velocity vs time, it's not impossible, it's simple. Average velocity is total distance divided by total time. The total time is the difference between finish and start times, and the distance is the area under the graph between the graph and the time axis.
