in plotting a x y graph which axes is the dependent variable and which is an independent function

Dear Abhishekh,

can you please elaborate your question...i didnt understood it.

Regards.

If the xy graph is to be plotted of a function , then no variable can be called dependant or independant because if x is a function of y , then y is also a function of x. Both can be related to each ofher and both are dependent of each other.

Dear Shivani,
normally or you can say conventionally we take the the x axis as independent func. such as time etc.
and in the y axis we take the dependent func. eg. displacement.
BUt its not true always.
eg. BLACK BODY RADIATION GRAPH.
the x axis(WAVELENGTH OF EMITTED LIGHT) varies with respect to the increse or decrease of y axis(INTENSITY).
Hope i helped you.
Regards

y is dependent and x is independent

question is in plotting any graph which axes is usually taken constant
