No. It shows changes in the response variable against changes in the explanatory (or independent) variable(s).
On the y-axis.

Plot different kinds of lines like a dotted or colored line.
Line graphs are used to display data to show how one variable (the Responding variable) changes in response to another variable (the Manipulated variable).

Line graphs are used to display data to show how one variable (the Responding variable) changes in response to another variable (the Manipulated variable).
A straight line on a graph indicates a linear relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable. This means that as one variable changes, the other changes at a constant rate, resulting in a line with a steady slope.
On a line graph, where is the dependent variable placed?
The slope of each point on the line on the graph is the rate of change at that point. If the graph is a straight line, then its slope is constant. If the graph is a curved line, then its slope changes.
In the vertical direction.
A line graph is typically used to show the relationship between two variables and how one variable changes when the other variable is changed. The x-axis represents one variable and the y-axis represents the other variable. Lines connecting data points show how the variable being measured changes as the other variable changes.
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)
