What axis is the dependant varible on x or y?
The y-axis. Although it is possible for both variables to be independent, or both dependent.
How do you graph independent and dependent variables?
Independent = input a.k.a. x-value Dependent = output a.k.a. y-value Dependent variables go on y axis. Independent variables go on x axis. Time is almost always independent and that is why it nearly always on x axis. Time doesn't depend on anything in most experiments. But many things depend on it. Those will go on the y axis. If you have an object cooling, we plot a temperature time graph. The temperature (y axis) is dependent on the time (x axis) but not the other way round. If you consider the area of a parachute and its time of flight, then time depends on the area and so time being dependent on the area goes on the y axis. So in short: the independent variable is what you can control and goes on the x- axis. the dependent variable is what results from the experiment and goes on the y-axis.
Why are the x and y axis called the x and y axis?
because they are normally the unknown variables
When plotting a graph what goes up the x and y axis?
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)]
Which variables should be on the x-axis and which shoukd be on the y-axis?
Normally the vertical y-axis is considered the dependent variable and the horizontal x-axis the independent variable. ie the variable plotted up the y-axis depends upon the variable plotted along the x-axis.
The independent variable is plotted on what axis?
It depends on the number of variables and their nature: 2 variables, both independent: either axis 2 variables, one independent: x-axis 3 variables, all independent: any axis 3 variables, 2 independent: x or y-axis. 3 variables, 1 independent: x-axis. and so on.
Where do you put the independent and dependent variables on a histogram?
Independent on the x-axis (horizontal) and dependent on the y-axis (vertical).
What axis is the dependant varible on x or y?
The y-axis. Although it is possible for both variables to be independent, or both dependent.
Which variable goes on the y axis?
If there is an independent variable then that goes on the x-axis. If not, either of two variables can go on the y-axis. With a chart in three or more dimensions, the second independent variable, if it exists, will go on the y-axis.

Is x or y independent?
x is independent because of the x axis and y axis on a coordinate plane.
How many variables are displayed in a scatterplot?
How many variables are displayed in a scatterplot?one along the x-axis, and one along the y-axisone along the x-axis, and two along the y-axistwo along the x-axis, and one along the y-axistwo along the x-axis, and two along the y-axis
Identifying independent variables and dependent variables?
how do u identify a independent variable
When graghing variables which variable goes on which axis?
The independent variable is by convention drawn on the x (horizontal) axis, with the dependent variable on the y (vertical) axis.
What is the independent variable on graphs?
The independent variable is typically plotted on the x-axis of a graph. It is the variable that is controlled or manipulated by the experimenter and is used to determine its effect on the dependent variable.
