In the vertical direction.
a graph of the independent variable and dependant that shows a graph with a fixed gradient (I.E a line graph) The equation of the graph will be given by y = mx +c where m is the gradient and c is a constant

On a line graph, where is the dependent variable placed?
In the vertical direction.
An independant variable should always be on the x-axis of a graph and the dependant variable on the y-axis.
You can say that the variables are inversely proportional.
Bar graphs are used when graphing a qualitative independent variable, but a line graph is used when the independent variable is quantitative. Also when you are comparing quantity of objects(bar graph)
The independent variable is the (x) axis or horizontal part of a graph. The dependant is the vertical (y) axis. The independent variable can change but the dependant can't, such as x=nightly sleep time and y=hours in 1 day.
on a line graph, the independent variable is plotted on the horizontal x- axis, and the dependent variable is plotted on the vertical y- axis.

The independent variable is on the x-axis.
The independent variable typically goes on the x-axis and the dependent variable goes on the y-axis in a line graph for science.
