Question

While plotting a distance time graph why do we plot time on X axis

Answer 1

Explanation:

because time is an independent variable and distance is a dependent variable

Answer 2

Answer:

Since, time remains an independent variable.

Explanation:

In most cases, you will find that the dependent variable ( whose value is dependent on some other variable ) is plotted on the Y-axis and the independent variable is plotted on the X-axis.

In case of the equation,

$y = mx + x$

y is the dependent variable as its value is dependent on the value of x. x is independent.

Time ( t ) is something which we can't control. It progresses uniformly. Hence, such an independent variable is plotted on the X-axis.

Distance changes with time, but time does not change with distance. Right?
