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.
The convention is to have the independent variable represented along the X-axis and the dependent variable along the Y-axis.
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.
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.
Mass is the independent variable and should be plotted on the x-axis.
The x and y axes on the Cartesian plane intersect at the origin at right angles

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 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 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.
X and Y axes.
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.
each of the four regions created on the coordinate plane by the x- and y-axes.
An independant variable should always be on the x-axis of a graph and the dependant variable on the y-axis.
Mass is the independent variable and should be plotted on the x-axis.
