The convention is to place the independent variable (also known as the predictor variable) along the horizontal axis (the abscissa) in a scattergram. This allows for easy comparison of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables (also known as the response variable) as the values of the independent variable change. The dependent variable is then arrayed along the vertical axis (the ordinate).
