The vertical axis of a graph, often referred to as the y-axis, typically represents the dependent variable or the outcome being measured. It runs vertically from the bottom to the top of the graph and is labeled with units appropriate to the data being displayed. The values on this axis illustrate how the dependent variable changes in relation to the independent variable, which is usually plotted along the horizontal axis (x-axis).
On whichever variable is considered the y-variable. It would be the second element of each ordered pair of data points.
