The x-axis should display the independent variable (i.e. the one that is controlled by the person carrying the experiment) while the y-axis should display the dependent variable (i.e. the one that varies because of the changing independent variables).
[The y-axis is vertical (up and down); the x-axis is horizontal (side-to-side)]

Do you mean the axis? The y axis goes up and down while the x axis goes left and right.
the answer s the slope how can it be slope it if it goes up and down slope is the measuer of x axis and y axis
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/
Y axis going up; and X axis going across.
Once a graph has been created, y would be the axis which is shown up and down on the graph. The x axis is shown from left to right on the graph. Both are reference lines on a graph.
