If you believe that one of the variables depends on the other then the dependent variable should go on the y axis. If they are dependent on each other (or both dependent on something else) or if they are independent then do whatever you like.
Usually the variable placed on the x-axis will be the known values to which you want to correlate the unknown variable on the y-axis. Usually sequential information such as sample number or date or time will be placed on the x-axis as well.
To set up the labels for the x and y axes of a graph using a data table, first identify the variables represented in your data. The independent variable, often plotted on the x-axis, should be placed in the first column, while the dependent variable, plotted on the y-axis, should be in the second column. Once the variables are determined, label the axes accordingly, ensuring that the title clearly reflects what each axis represents. Finally, consider including units of measurement if applicable for clarity.
The x variable, of course! If there are only two variables then the independent variable, if one exists, should be plotted on the x-axis.
The X and Y axes meet at the origin.
When labeling the x and y axes on a graph, first identify the variables represented, ensuring they are clear and relevant to the data being displayed. The x-axis typically represents the independent variable, while the y-axis represents the dependent variable. Include appropriate units of measurement for clarity, and choose labels that are concise yet descriptive enough for the audience to understand the graph’s context. Finally, ensure the labels are visually distinct and legible.

1. Make it as simple as possible 2. Find your x, or whatever variable you are using 3. Be careful when graphing, the curves and axes intercepts should be accurate

the x axes is the bold line that goes horizontally the one that goes vertically is the y axes!
The x is on the top left and y is on the bottom.
X goes on the x-axis, and y goes on the y-axis....
The X and Y axes meet at the origin.
In most cases, x is independent and y is dependent. That is, you choose the value of x, but this x-value will decide the corresponding y-value.
X and Y axes.
To find a variable in a graph, first identify the axes; the x-axis typically represents the independent variable, while the y-axis represents the dependent variable. Locate the data points or a curve on the graph to see how the variables interact. You can read off values directly from the axes or use a trend line to estimate values between plotted points. Additionally, look for any labels or legends that provide context about the variables represented.
To determine which data to place on the axes of a graph, first identify the independent variable, which is typically the one you control or manipulate and is placed on the x-axis. The dependent variable, which you measure or observe in response to changes in the independent variable, should be placed on the y-axis. Consider the relationship you want to illustrate; if there are multiple variables, use established conventions or best practices to ensure clarity and accuracy. Lastly, ensure the chosen axes effectively convey the story or insights within the data.
