Question

When a relationship is graphed on a Cartesian coordinate system, what value is usually measured by the y-axis?

Answer 1

Be more precise plz

Answer 2

It purely depends on the function. Usually functions that are graphed have INPUT x and OUTPUT y. This means that y can represent many things. It can represent profit, position, speed.... It can represent anything. With no strings attached, a pure value of x and a pure value of y are just called "units".

Answer 3

so, are you talking about the relationship between two functions?

Answer 4

depending on the function. But time is usually the time is on the x and y can be the life of carbon 12 for example (in grams) height. cost, product, Whatever is affected by time

Answer 5

so as time goes by...the distance can be represented by the y. Finding the derivatives of each function will STILL include TIME on the X axis but now the y axis will represent velocity or acceleration depending or the rate of change of whatever the relationship is
