Question

Where does the independent variable go when graphing?

A: X-axis

B: Y-axis

C: Origin

D: Titile

Answer 1

X- axis


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). The x and y axes cross at a point referred to as the origin, where the coordinates are (0,0). In graphs with only positive values for x and y, the origin is in the lower left corner.
