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.

abscissa is horizontal and ordinate is vertical one

The combination of a horizontal axis and a vertical axis is called a Cartesian coordinate system, or in short, a graph.
A graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis is called adistance-time graph. Time is directly proportional to time because as the direction increases, so does time.
Because columns (vertical or horizontal) are used to show data.
Time on horizontal, Distance on Vertical
A graph that uses bars is simply called a bar graph.
A bar graphA graph consisting of bars is called a bar graph. It is irrelevant whether the bars are horizontal or vertical or whether there are spaces between the bars or not.
Vertical and horizontal lines in most graphs are called axes (plural of axis). They create the plane on which the graph sits. The X axis is the horizontal axis and goes across the graph. The Y axis is vertical axis and goes up and down the graph. They could also be lines which depict places that the graph never touches; this would be called an asymptote.
