The independent variable goes on the x-axis while the dependent variable goes on the y-axis. :)
An independent variable - if there is one - goes on the x- axis. There may not be an idependent variable: for example in a graph of peoples' height v weight (mass).An independent variable - if there is one - goes on the x- axis.

The variable that goes on the y axis is the dependent variable. This is the one that you measure, and do not control. The variable that goes on the x axis is the independent variable. This is the one that you control and change throughout the experiment. No other variables feature on the graph.
dependent is X and independent is Y so the axis (line) that goes horizontal (right to left) is X and has the dependent variable. the axis that goes vertically (up and down) is the Y axis and has the independent variable/
the dependent variable goes on the y- axis
