A vertical and a horizontal scales are needed.
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.
The combination of a horizontal axis and a vertical axis is called a Cartesian coordinate system, or in short, a graph.
Time on horizontal, Distance on Vertical
A graph that uses bars is simply called a bar graph.
