The x - axis
the independent variable is on the y-axis
The independent variable goes on the x axis. This is the variable that is controlled and changed by the experimenter. The dependent variable goes on the y axis. This is the variable that is measured. For instance, if we were plotting a graph of the speed of a ball bearing for different gradient slopes, we would put the gradient of the slopes on the x axis, and the speed of the ball bearing on the y axis.
Yes, and the Y-Axis holds the dependent variable. * * * * * Usually, but not always. There may be no independent variable - they may be mutually dependent.
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
Horizontal axis
x-axis
yes the independent variable goes on the x-axis
Y-axis dependent- X-axis
If there is an independent variable then that goes on the x-axis. If not, either of two variables can go on the y-axis. With a chart in three or more dimensions, the second independent variable, if it exists, will go on the y-axis.
The independent variable goes on the x-axis while the dependent variable goes on the y-axis. :)
no the y
the y-axis is the dependent variable and the x-axis is the independent variable.
Because it is the independent variable, and so the x axis depends on the y axis.
Usually on the horizontal axis.
In principle, wherever you want. However, it is customary to place the independent variable on the horizontal axis, and the dependent variable on the vertical axis.
Any variable that you like. If you have one independent variable and one dependent, then by convention, the independent one would go on the x-axis.
No, typically in a scatter plot, the independent variable goes on the x-axis and the dependent variable goes on the y-axis. So in this case, mass would go on the x-axis and density on the y-axis.
