If Distance is the ordinate(y-axis) and Time is the abscissa(x-axis) then the slope gives the speed. If Time is the ordinate(y-axis) and Distance is the abscissa(x-axis) then the slope gives the Time taken per unit of Distance
The independent data goes on the x-axis. The x-axis is the abscissa and the vertical y-axis is the ordinate.
