What is the relationship between variable x and variable y? As variable x increases, variable y increases.
As variable x increases, variable y decreases.
Both variables show a trend toward decreasing values.
No distinct relationship exists between variables x and y.

So x is usually called the independent or explanatory variable, and y the dependent or response variable. Another way to think about it, sometimes, is that x is used to predict y. So x is something that comes before y in time. That is why, for example, height at age 2 is on the x axis and height at age 18 on the y
