I believe you meant the "independent" variable, and it is the X axis. The Y axis (the vertical one) is for the dependent variable.
it is the dependent variable
If you are graphing the results of an experiment, the dependent variable is on the vertical, or y-axis, and the independent variable is on the horizontal axis, or x-axis.
on the y axis
The Independent variable is placed on the x-axis and the dependent variable is placed on the y- axis
I believe you meant the "independent" variable, and it is the X axis. The Y axis (the vertical one) is for the dependent variable.
In a graph the vertical axis displays the y variablewhile the horizontal axis displays the x variable. The manipulated variable will be shown on the x axis while the responding variable will be shown on the y axis.
The dependent variable is shown on the vertical, or y-axis of a graph.
The name of the vertical axis on a graph is called the y axis. But the horizontal axis is called the x axis. y axis l l l -------+-------- x axis l l l
it is the dependent variable
Generally the dependant variable is placed vertically on the y-axis. This is simply because you are usually trying to derive some equation of the form y = c*x + d.
If you are graphing the results of an experiment, the dependent variable is on the vertical, or y-axis, and the independent variable is on the horizontal axis, or x-axis.
By convention, the variable that is changed (the independent variable) is displayed along the horizontal or x-axis. The variable that is measured (the dependent variable) is plotted along the vertical or y-axis. A responding variable is a dependent variable and would go along the y axis
The independent variable is typically plotted on the x-axis of a graph. It is the variable that is controlled or manipulated by the experimenter and is used to determine its effect on the dependent variable.
The y-axis is the vertical line on a line graph.
