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.
That can be anything, depending on what you're graphing.
Normally, the dependent variable is plotted on the y-axis and the independent variable is plotted on the x-axis.
the thing that you are measuring is usually plotted on the Y axis . the X axis is usually time scale
It would be the independent vairiable.

The manipulated variable is your independent variable. This gets plotted along the x-axis on a graph, and your dependent variable gets plotted along the y axis. Example- think of a velocity-time graph (physics), or a dose-response graph (pharmacology). The variable you are able to control (like time or dose) is your manipulated variable, and the variable whose value is contingent on how you manipulate the first is your dependent variable (drug response etc.)
Manipulated variables are also known as independent variables. These are the variable which you change in an investigation. Plotted on the 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
This decision is up to the experimenter.For example if you wished to explore whether folk grew taller as they grew older, then you'd plot the height of your subjects against their height.The Age is the controlling variable, and their Height is the dependent variable. From this you'd get a plot of Age (horizontal axis) against height (vertical axis).Dependent doesn't mean it depends upon the nature of the variable; rather its plot depends upon the results of the experiment. And by convention is plotted on the vertical (Y) axis.

The independent variable.
The independent variable.
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.
Normally, the dependent variable is plotted on the y-axis and the independent variable is plotted on the x-axis.
The dependent variable is usually plotted on the "y" or ordinal axis.
It is plotted on the horizontal axis.
