Answer 3

"\(f\) is an explanatory variable of \(g\)" means that you are trying to "explain" the value of \(g\) using (given) the value of \(f\).
=> value of \(g\) given value of \(f\) => \(g(f)\). => \(g\) is on the verticla axis.

Answer 4

It is similar to the usual functions: \(f(x)\) is "value of \(f\) at point \(x\) (or "given \(x\)").
