Question 437745


THE STEPS FOR PLOTTING POINTS ON A GRAPH.

1. Make sure that you have {{{two}}} variables (for ex. {{{x}}} and {{{y}}})to work with (two columns
of data).x|y).

2.  the variable {{{x}}} is going to be represented on the {{{x-axis }}}
and the variable {{{y}}} will be on the {{{y-axis}}} 

3. Label the axes on your plot and determine the appropriate scale (if
the graph is not already labeled).

4. Begin by plotting the first two pairs of numbers (x,y) (the top row of
numbers).

a. First, find the value for {{{x}}} on the {{{x-axis}}}.

b. Next, find the {{{y-value}}} on the {{{y-axis}}}.

c. Your point should be plotted at the intersection of the {{{x-value}}}
and the {{{y-value}}}. (Draw one line vertically up from the x-value
and another line horizontally from the y-value, where they cross
is where you should put your {{{point}}} (x,y))

d. Finally, plot the point on your graph at the appropriate spot.

5. Continue to plot pairs of points from the table (in rows) until you
have plotted all the points. (in case you have to plot a graph of linear function, you will need only 2 points because a line is defined with 2 points)

6. Your final graph should have the same number of points as pairs
of data in your table.
