Time on x or y axis. (1 Viewer)

[Official]

Q 21 (I think) in Science asked whether the time was meant to be on the x or y axis.
Time in this case was the dependent variable.
I know that the independent variable is always meant to be at the bottom but I've also always heard that time was meant to be on the x-axis.
So was time meant to be on the x-axis or y-axis?

For the BoS Science paper, the X is Temperature and the Y is time. Remeber those travel graphs we will have to do tomorrow as an example and youll be fine because you Always put dependant on the X.




They're coming to get you

no, the x-axis is always independent.

think of it as a function in maths. y = 3x. you put in a value of x and get a result, y. in science, you put in a result (e.g. temperature) and get a result (time)

this is ofc regarding today's paper

OMGosh, i totes thought the exact same thing. My first answer was to put time on the 'y' axis, but then i changed it!


kill me now

I was unsure on that question...
until I leafed through the booklet a bit and found a graph using time on the X

Independent on x axis and dependent on y axis - time being a dependent value so it's on the y axis.

Temperature on x-axis, time on y-axis.

hehehe, by the looks of things I got it right...
