on the horizontal axis!
I believe you meant the "independent" variable, and it is the X axis. The Y axis (the vertical one) is for the dependent variable.
If a graph shows the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable as a straight line, it indicates a linear relationship between the two variables. This means that changes in the independent variable result in proportional changes in the dependent variable. The slope of the line represents the rate of change, while the y-intercept indicates the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is zero.
a graph of the independent variable and dependant that shows a graph with a fixed gradient (I.E a line graph) The equation of the graph will be given by y = mx +c where m is the gradient and c is a constant
A scatter graph.

The independent variable is typically placed on the x-axis.
The independent variable is typically placed on the x-axis of a line graph. This axis is also known as the horizontal axis and represents the variable that is manipulated or controlled by the experimenter.
On a line graph, where is the dependent variable placed?
In the vertical direction.
The independent variable is typically placed on the horizontal (x) axis in a line graph for science. This variable is manipulated or controlled by the experimenter to observe its effect on the dependent variable.

Bar graphs are used when graphing a qualitative independent variable, but a line graph is used when the independent variable is quantitative. Also when you are comparing quantity of objects(bar graph)
