Answer:

The output variable will be on the y-axis, the input variable will be on the x-axis.

Explanation:

To create a function, we must an equation in the form of


Y(x) = kx + b

The x-axis of a graph will be what we change in the function. We will get a certain value (
Y(x)) that changes when the right side of the function changes. This means that the input of the function will be
x.

The y-axis of a graph will be what the x-axis makes. In this case, it's
Y(x). This is the output of the graph after given the input. This means the output is
Y(x).

Hope this helped!
