Zero is always plotted on the Y and X axis, known as the origin.The Y axis is vertical, like a straight line or pole for better reference, the X axis is horizontal, like the horizon.
It shows how quickly the variable plotted on the vertical axis (y) changes relative to the variable that is plotted on the horizontal axis (x).
Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.
Normally, the dependent variable is plotted on the y-axis and the independent variable is plotted on the x-axis.
