y axis

Normally on the horizontal x axis
The independent variable is along the bottom or horizontal or x axis. The dependent variable is up the left hand side or vertical or y axis
It depends on which variable is independent, and which one is dependent (its value is determined by a function of the independent variable). So suppose that concentration is a function of an arbitrary length (the length is what determines concentration). The independent variable (length) is put on the horizontal axis, and the dependent variable (concentration) is put on the vertical axis.
There's no such thing as an 'average' graph, but we can talk about a typical one.The independent variable of an equation in one variable is typically plotted alongthe x-axis of a typical graph.
On a vertical axis you should label it the "y-axis". Then make sure to put the numbers needed on the line! :)
