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.
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)
The independent variable is on the x-axis.

The independent variable typically goes on the x-axis and the dependent variable goes on the y-axis in a line graph for science.
The independent variable is on the x-axis.
The independent variable is typically placed on the x-axis of a line graph. This axis is also known as the horizontal axis and represents the variable that is manipulated or controlled by the experimenter.
