Question

on a graph, where should the dependent variable (d.v.) and independent variable (i.v.) be placed? both of these variables go on the x (horizontal) axis. its impossible to tell which variable goes where. both of these variables go on the y (vertical) axis. d.v. goes on the y-axis and the i.v. goes on the x-axis.

Explanation:

In graphing, the independent variable (i.v.) is the one manipulated or chosen, and it's placed on the x - axis (horizontal). The dependent variable (d.v.) depends on the i.v. and is placed on the y - axis (vertical). So the correct option is the one stating d.v. on y - axis and i.v. on x - axis.

Answer:

d.v. goes on the y - axis and the i.v. goes on the x - axis.
