Time is plotted on the horizontal axis.

The y-axis is the vertical line on a line graph.
Units of measurement along each axis of a graph are evenly distributed to maintain consistency and proportionality. This means that as you move along each axis, the values increase or decrease at a constant rate based on the scale set for that axis. This helps in accurately representing the data and relationships between variables.
To go from a position graph to a velocity graph, you can calculate the slope of the position graph at each point. The slope at any given point on a position vs. time graph represents the velocity at that specific time. Therefore, the velocity graph would be a plot of the slopes at each point on the position graph.
The vertical axis on an oscilloscope is used to measure the amplitude of a waveform. This axis represents the voltage level of the signal being displayed on the screen.
A position-time graph shows the relationship between an object's position and time. The position of the object is typically plotted on the y-axis, while time is on the x-axis. The slope of the graph represents the object's velocity, with a steeper slope indicating a higher velocity.
