You should usually put the independent variable on the x-axis (horizontal) and the dependent variable on the y-axis (vertical). This helps to clearly show the relationship between the two variables being plotted.
In simple cases, you would put time on the horizontal axis.
You put time on the horizontal axis and distance on the vertical axis.
When you graph the motion of an object, you typically put the time on the horizontal axis (x-axis) and the position, velocity, or acceleration of the object on the vertical axis (y-axis). This allows you to visualize how the object's position, velocity, or acceleration changes with time.
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.
Perhaps. The x-axis is where you put the variable that you change. The y-axis is where the second variable which depends upon the first would go. If you are recording a measurement that changes every year (e.g. populations of frogs), the x-axis would be the suitable for the year because that is the variable which changes. The population of the frogs is different depending on the year. If you were measuring the year of birth of a distribution of people, the year would go on the y-axis. The year depends upon which person you choose.
In simple cases, you would put time on the horizontal axis.
bottom line on a graph were a number or object is put when you are graphing. they are always labeled
y axis
On a vertical axis you should label it the "y-axis". Then make sure to put the numbers needed on the line! :)
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.
Plot the y-axis, which is the b in the y=mx+b in the slope intercept equation. Then, you put your slope and plot the line.
multiply
You have two sides to a bar graph. Each side will have data. Let's say you are graphing a race. On the horizontal axis you could put the names of the racers and on the vertical axis you put the miles. You would then graph the number of miles for each racer in a bar form and color the bars in to show a comparison.
Here is a great site that will tell you everything you know about graphing calculator programming, and its got programs there to! See the related link, "Graphing Calculator Programming".
time
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.
By picking numbers and graphing it loser! hehehehhe
