Detailed explanation-1: -Time is the independent variable and will always be placed on the x-axis. The lines on the graphs can tell you many different things. For example: The slope of a line (steepness) can tell you speed.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the distance-time graph, distance is the dependent variable and is represented on the y-axis, while time is the independent variable and is represented on the x-axis.
Detailed explanation-3: -The x-axis is also called the independent axis because its values do not depend on anything. For example, time is always placed on the x-axis since it continues to move forward regardless of anything else.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Axes. The independent variable belongs on the x-axis (horizontal line) of the graph and the dependent variable belongs on the y-axis (vertical line).
Detailed explanation-5: -The horizontal axis is usually called the x-axis. The vertical axis is usually called the y-axis. The point where the x-and y-axis intersect is called the origin.
