horizontal
x-axis
It's known as the X-axis. Most of the time used for the Independent Variable. Also used for the run (if on a Cartesian Plane) if doing slope. It does not have a Direct Definition, but is called the X-axis.
The 'Y' axis.

lines of latitude are horizontal lines that form circles and that run in the same direction as the equator
The X axis.
X Axis
It is the gradient of the line. Pick any two points on the line. Measure the RISE = difference in their heights (distances from the x-axis), and the RUN = difference in their horizontal displacements (distances from the y-axis). The unit rate is RISE/RUN.
Run
You're generally going to put the independent variable on the horizontal axis, ie the variable that you decided to change in the experiment. If it is a continuous variable (ie a run of numbers) then you will be plotting a line graph and joining with a line or curve of best fit. If your variable is categoric ie has labels rather than numbers, or if it is whole-number only, then you're going to be plotting a bar graph.
A graph has two axes, the one running top to bottom (vertical or y axis) and one running right to left (horizontal or x axis). You can run your finger up the y axis to the point where it is at the same height as the point on the line you are interested in, and note the number on the y axis, then run your finger across to the point on the line you are interested in, then take your finger down to the x axis and note the number of that axis, then combine the two. For example, if the graph shows height on the y axis and time on the x axis, you go up the y axis to say, 23 cm, then across to the point on the line, then down to the x axis which is say, 12 hours, then you know that by 12 hours the plant (for example) had grown 23 cm.
