The independent variable goes on the x-axis while the dependent variable goes on the y-axis. :)
x - independent, y is dependent
On whichever variable is considered the y-variable. It would be the second element of each ordered pair of data points.

Ah, the independent variable is typically found on the left side of a data table. It's the variable that you can control or manipulate to see how it affects the dependent variable. Just remember, like a happy little tree, the independent variable helps guide the direction of your experiment.
The independent variable goes on the x-axis while the dependent variable goes on the y-axis. :)
The horizontal axis, or "X" axis, is usually reserved for the variable you have no control over, such as the passing of time. This is called the independent variable.
On the x-axis (the top of the table)
on a line graph, the independent variable is plotted on the horizontal x- axis, and the dependent variable is plotted on the vertical y- axis.
On the y-axis (the bottom of the table)
The independent variable can be located on the x-axis, it also means its the thing in the experiment that you change. The dependent variable is located on the y-axis, and is what you are using to measure your independent variable.The independent variable is a variable that changes.The dependent variable is a variable that is measured and used for data.
Scientists typically organize their data into a graph by choosing the appropriate type of graph (such as line, bar, or scatter plot) based on the nature of the data. They then plot the independent variable on the x-axis and the dependent variable on the y-axis, ensuring each data point is accurately represented. Finally, they may add labels, titles, and legends to clearly communicate the relationship being shown in the graph.
x - independent, y is dependent
The x-axis of a graph is always your independent variable and the y-axis is the dependent variable. The independent variable is so called because it can stand alone as data and does not depend on other information to make sense.
Graphing is a means originally invented by the French mathematician, Renee Descartes, by which mathematical data can be drawn and understood visually. It is used a lot in science. For example, if you wanted to show how nitrogen fertilizer effects the productivity of an apple tree, you could obtain data for various levels of fertilizer and the corresponding quantity of apples that result, and draw it on a graph, with the x axis being apples, and the y axis being fertilizer.
