Question

How should variables be depicted on a graph?

A.) independent variable on the y-axis

B.) dependent variable on the z-axis

C.) dependent variable on the x-axis

D.) independent variable on the x-axis

Answer 1

D.) independent variable on the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally in an x-y plane, the value of x is taken as an independent variable, i.e. it is independent because it can assume any value (real number), while y depends on the value x. for example for the following equation.

y = x

Where:

x = independent value.

y = dependent value of x

This is the equation of a line, inclined with slope equal to 1.
