Generally the dependant variable is placed vertically on the y-axis. This is simply because you are usually trying to derive some equation of the form y = c*x + d.

Dependent variable take on X-axis and independent variable take on Y-axis in a graph.
dependent variable always go on y.axis on the graph.
The independent variable (such as time) is places on the x-axis of a graph. Always place the things that will never change on the x-axis. The dependent variable is then placed on the y-axis. The difference between the independent and dependent variable is that the independent variable in an experient does not change it is what stays constent, it is what is used to measure the dependent variable. On the other hand the dependent variable is what the experiment is testing for and what depends on the independent variable.
