The independent variable is always on the x-axis of a coordinate plane. The dependent variable is always on the y-axis. This is true because y always depends on x.
x=3 means that the x variable always stays constant, so the y variable can change as much as it wants, but x will always be 3. on a graph, this would like a vertical line. (It should be perpendicular to the x variable's line...if that helps a visual:P)
Always when using a line graph use the x-axis for independent variable and the y-axis for dependent variable.
Time is nearly always the independent variable, which are normally plotted on the horizontal axis.
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
dependent variable always go on y.axis on the graph.
The independent variable is typically placed on the x-axis in a graph or chart.
Independent
The y (vertical) axis
The independent variable (such as time) is places on the x-axis of a graph. Always place the things that will never change on the x-axis. The dependent variable is then placed on the y-axis. The difference between the independent and dependent variable is that the independent variable in an experient does not change it is what stays constent, it is what is used to measure the dependent variable. On the other hand the dependent variable is what the experiment is testing for and what depends on the independent variable.
The independent variable is always on the x-axis of a coordinate plane. The dependent variable is always on the y-axis. This is true because y always depends on x.
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.
x=3 means that the x variable always stays constant, so the y variable can change as much as it wants, but x will always be 3. on a graph, this would like a vertical line. (It should be perpendicular to the x variable's line...if that helps a visual:P)

On a line graph, where is the dependent variable placed?
Time is nearly always the independent variable, which are normally plotted on the horizontal axis.
