Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Scientists like to say that the “independent” variable goes on the x-axis (the bottom, horizontal one) and the “dependent” variable goes on the y-axis (the left side, vertical one).
Detailed explanation-3: -1. The independent variable is plotted on the abscissa (also called the x-axis or horizontal axis), while the dependent variable is plotted on the ordinate (also called the y-axis or vertical axis). The dependent variable is the one whose value changes as a result of changes in the independent variable.
Detailed explanation-4: -Its value is dependent on whatever the value of x is. Mentor: That’s right, y is the dependent variable because we do not set a value of y directly; instead, we set a value of x and use that to find the value of y.
