It is called the x-variable. It can be the independent variable but there may be no independent variable.
The x-axis on a graph typically represents the independent variable, or the variable being controlled or manipulated. It is also known as the horizontal axis and is where you would plot the values of the independent variable being studied.
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.
An independant variable should always be on the x-axis of a graph and the dependant variable on the y-axis.
The independent variable typically goes on the x-axis, and the dependent variable goes on the y-axis.
Yes the y-axis is the dependent variable where y is a function of x the independent variable.
X-axis
the independent variable
The horizontal axis, or "X" axis, is usually reserved for the variable you have no control over, such as the passing of time. This is called the independent variable.
The independent variable
The independent variable
the dependent variable
the dependent variable
the independent variable
the variable on the x axis is called the independent variable. the y axis is called the dependant variable
The x variable, of course! If there are only two variables then the independent variable, if one exists, should be plotted on the x-axis.
The independent variable is on the horizontal axis.
The x-axis on a graph typically represents the independent variable, or the variable being controlled or manipulated. It is also known as the horizontal axis and is where you would plot the values of the independent variable being studied.
