The Y-Axis is always which variable?

Explanation:
On a standard Cartesian graph, the vertical axis shows the variable that depends on what you’ve set on the horizontal axis—the dependent variable. As you change the input on the x-axis, the outcome you observe on the y-axis changes accordingly. The independent variable is what you control and sits on the x-axis by convention. Categorical and discrete describe data types, not axis placement. So the Y-Axis represents the dependent variable.
