'y' is a variable. '15' is not. [ y+15 ] is an expression in one variable.
the name for x variable is indepent name for y variable is depent
The independent variable, if there is one, is usually plotted on the x-axis, not the y-axis. So the question is based on false premises. The practice of putting the dependent variable on the vertical, y-axis is just a matter of convention. There is no mathematical justification for it.
The y-axis is the metric of the dependent variable.
Say y = x2 y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable.
