Creating a graph
Draw the y-axis on thevertical axis and the X-axis on the horizontalone
Label what variable is on each of the axis and show units

Decide on what intervals you will be using
on each axis and write those in
• Be sure that the intervals are even and appropriate to the measurements you have taken

Draw the line of best fit (trend line) A line on a scatter plot which can be drawn near the points to more clearly show the trend between two sets of data.
Line of Best Fit
Plot the data points that you collected on the graph (Scatter plot)
