It depends upon the type of graph that you are talking about,

If the graph is Velocity - Time graph, then time lies on the X axis and speed on the Y axis.

If it is Distance - Time graph, the time lies on the X axis and distance on the Y axis.

But generally, it is ALWAYS TIME IN THE ‘X’ AXIS AND DISTANCE ON THE ‘Y’ AXIS.
