While at the NSTA conference in Columbus, on Friday at
one session one teacher was adamant about when
graphing distance vs time, time was ALWAYS on the
horizontal axis. I thought it depended upon what was
being controlled. If I control time and measure distance,
then time is on the horizontal axis but if I control
distance and measure time than distance should be on
the horizontal axis. Any thoughts?
