They are the axes. Usually horizontal = x-axis, vertical = y-axis. But that need not always apply. In a displacement-time or speed-time graph, for example, the horizontal axis = t-axis (for time).
Time is nearly always the independent variable, which are normally plotted on the horizontal axis.
The straight horizontal line on the graph says: "Whatever time you look at, the speed is always the same". This is the graph of an object moving with constant speed.
Distance and Time are variables and always moving. Therefore the answer is no. Let's suppose: If time is the vertical axis and distance (travelled) the horizontal axis. Standing still (not travelling) would show a vertical graph line. If distance is the vertical axis and time the horizontal axis. Then standing still would form a horizontal line based on time alone.
The independent variable, in this case time, is on the horizontal axis of a speed graph.
The horizontal axis is for the independent variable, which is time. Time is always placed on the horizontal, or x-axis.

Time is nearly always the independent variable, which are normally plotted on the horizontal axis.
Time is almost always an independent variable. Typically, independent variables are plotted along the horizontal axis.
It is because time is often, though not always, an independent variable.

A graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis is called adistance-time graph. Time is directly proportional to time because as the direction increases, so does time.
In simple cases, you would put time on the horizontal axis.
Acceleration
Time is plotted on the horizontal axis.
