y can be anything at all, as it represents an independent variable. In a concrete example, one may have x representing a family size, but y could be anything - even something totally unrelated, like how many elephants there are! One of the many purposes of graphing x with y is to demonstrate a relationship between them that can then be described as a function, which hopefully provides insight into the world.
