The y variable! Sometimes called the dependent variable.
the dependent variable goes on the y- axis
Unless I'm missing something, the y variable goes on the y axis and the x variable goes on the x axis.
The variable that goes on the y axis is the dependent variable. This is the one that you measure, and do not control. The variable that goes on the x axis is the independent variable. This is the one that you control and change throughout the experiment. No other variables feature on the graph.
Please correct me if I misunderstood your question, but a horizontal axis goes from left to right and vice-versa, and a vertical axis goes from bottom to top and vice-versa.
