The variable that is typically graphed on the y-axis (vertical axis) depends on the type of data being plotted. In general, it represents the dependent variable or the response variable, while the variable on the x-axis (horizontal axis) generally represents the independent variable or the explanatory variable.
For example, in a graph showing the growth of plants over time, the height of the plants (dependent variable) would be plotted on the y-axis, while time (independent variable) would be plotted on the x-axis.
What variable is typically graphed on the y-axis?
