The independent variable - if there is one.

A variable that is common to a number of pairs of variables that you wish to compare. For example, if you want to compare height and mass at various ages, the age would be on the x-axis.

How are data plotted on a line graph?

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.


If a line plotted on a graph is horizontal what's the slope?

It has no slope and is parallel to the x axis


What is a graph with time plotted on the x axis and distance plotted on the y axis called?

It could be a velocity graph or an acceleration graph. If the plot is a straight line it is constant velocity. If the plot is a curve it is acceleration.


What axis is the independent variable plotted on line graph?

The independent variable is plotted on the x-axis of a line graph. This axis typically represents the variable that is controlled or manipulated in an experiment, allowing for the examination of its effect on the dependent variable, which is plotted on the y-axis. By displaying the independent variable along the x-axis, it helps to visualize trends or changes in relation to the dependent variable.


Is plotted on the x-axis on a time distance graph?

Time is plotted on the HORIZONTAL axis. That may or may not be the x-axis. If I choose to call the distance X, then X will be plotted on the vertical axis!


What is usually plotted on the x and y axis of a line graph?

Normally, if the graph is scientific, the x axis will be time, and the y will be what you are measuring. however this is not ALWAYS the case, and in all actuality, anything can be on the x and y axis.


Where is the dependent variable plotted on a line graph?

In a line graph, the dependent variable is plotted on the vertical axis (y-axis). This variable represents the outcome or response that is measured in relation to changes in the independent variable, which is plotted on the horizontal axis (x-axis). The line connects data points to show trends or changes over time or across different conditions.


Which type of variable is plotted on the x-axis the y-axis?

Always when using a line graph use the x-axis for independent variable and the y-axis for dependent variable.


In a line graph the dependent variable is plotted on the?

It is plotte on the x-axis. I dad the same question in science.


What does x axis show on a line graph?

X and Y can be literally anything. It depends on what the graph is designed to show.


In a line graph which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable?

The independent variable is plotted on the horizontal axis, or x axis. The dependent variable, or response variable is plotted on the vertical axis, or y axis.


What two variables are plotted on the garph?

The two variables plotted on a graph depend on the type of graph being used. In a typical line graph, the y-axis (vertical) represents the dependent variable, while the x-axis (horizontal) represents the independent variable.
