  1. First I would identify 2 variables then select an axis to represent each variable. Then select a scale for each axis, determine the least and greatest value to show.

  2. To start out your graph you would draw an X and a Y axis. On the X axis you would have your dependent variable. Normally your dependent variable would be time. Your independent variable would be beside the Y axis. Your Y axis has either Distance, speed, ounces, inches, miles, etc. Once you have finished that, you will plot down the numbers on each line. When you plot down the numbers you can sometimes do wholes and half’s depending on the independent variable. If I had pets as my independent variable I wouldn’t be able to have two and a half pets, I would only have 2. If I had distance as my independent variable I would be able to go two and a half miles. When plotting down the numbers, you can go by tens, twenty's, and sometimes even fifty’s. Always put numbers on the X and the Y axis so you know where to put the coordinates. Only connect the lines if it is necessary. Once you have that you can plot the numbers onto the graph wherever it is supposed to go. Tables will help you. That is how I make a graph.

  4. First you would make a title and label the X-axis and the Y-axis. If there is a change over time then your X-axis would be time/age. Time would go on the X-axis because time is always independent. If there is something like height then that would go on the Y-axis. Second you start plotting the points on the graph. For example: (0,0) would be on the origin. You would connect the dots if you are showing growth or height of something. If you were showing how many pets you had over a period of time (or something like that) then you would not connect the dots because you can’t have half of a pet.

  5. First you have to identify two variables. Then you have to select a variable to put on each axis. On the y-axis you put the dependent variable. On the x-axis is the independent variable. After that you do put the variables on each axis you have to put a scale. The scale may be different since you have different data to put on it. After selecting a scale you would start plotting your data. For example if you where biking and recording how many miles you do every hour time is your independent variable. Then the number of miles would be your dependent variable since time keeps moving even if the number of miles does not increase. So if you rode 5 miles in 1 hour and then took a break for 1 mile you rode 0 miles in 1 hour.

  6. first you have to make a coordiate graph to get started. then you have to identify two varriable. select a scale for the x and y axis like for ex: 2,4,6,8... or 1,2,3... then would have to plot your data in points or called coordinate pair. like an example of a coordinate pair would be (4,7)or(9,4). And it is good to line yor points because it can give u a better visual of how your graph is making a pattern.

  7. To make a graph I would identify which variable goes with which axis, on the y-axis you should have your dependent variable. For example if your table has jumping jacks over time then your dependent variable would be the jumping jacks. Next you put your independent variable on the x-axis this variable would be the time you had to do the jumping jacks. Then I would label the axis of the graph so other people reading my graph would know which axis represented which variable along with the axes labels I would put a title on my graph. This lets people know what my graph is about. After I finished labeling then I would chose a scale to go with the axes so I would be able to plot all of the points. The scale does not have to be the same for both axes you could count by twos on the x axis and threes on the y axis.
    After I finished setting up my graph I would start plotting all of the points. The points should be exact so you can get the right tend in your graph. After you have finished plotting all of the points you can draw a line from plot to plot this line helps you easily see the trend that your plots are making a lot better than if you didn’t have a line.

  8. The steps you need to make a graph is to first draw a ‘L’ shape. Then you find the independent and dependent variables, and put the independent variable under the horizontal line and the dependent variable nest to the line that’s vertical. Then you put dash marks on the lines and put numbers necessary according to the data. Then you need to plot the data, in between the two lines. The horizontal line is called the x-axis and the vertical line is called the y-axis (a way to remember this is, you need to get in the elevator before you go up) Then you’ve got the graph!

  9. the first thing that you would have to do is to identify two variables,then selct an axis to represent each variable, the dependent and independent variable. Then select the scale for tha x and y-axis, as you selected one of your axis you have to plot the data points. when you have created your graph and have put the points, you have to connect them to see if its a positive,negative , or both.

  10. To make a graph to show a relationship between two items. First you would have to number and put titles on both the x and y axis. When doing this the vairiable that represent how numbers is the y axis and the one that represent th product variable is the x axisNext you would have to put all the data from a chart to a graph. If you have completed these steps, the next thing you would need to do is connect all the dots. But when doing this , if there is a outlier do not connect the line to the outlier. And this is the steps into making a proper graph.

  11. first thing you do is make a cordinat graph and label the axises for what youre data is. the independint gose on the x-axis and the dependint gose on the y-axis. the independint shud be the time and the dependint shud be what depends on the time. then you make tick marks on intertvels that match your data from the least to greatest number. lets say you were selling books and in the first hour you sold 4 and in by the 15th hour you sold 34, on the bottom (x-axis) you woud need the numbers to go up from 0 to 15 cause you start out at 15 hours and were out there for 15. on the vertical (y-axis) you woud need numbers from 0 to 34 cause you start out with 0 sold and end up with 34 sold. the time gose on the x-axis because it cant be changed cause no matter what you cant change or reverse time. the dependint gose on the y-axis cause it depends on the time, like for example the number of books sold every hour, during the 1st hour they sold 4, so you woud go to the number one on the x-axis and then up to 4 on the y-axis to show that in one hour they sold 4 books. you woud continue to do that until all the info is done. to figure out if you shoud connect the dots, figure out if the dependint varibal can go down, like if someone returned one of the books the number coud go down so you woudnt put the lines. if you had a no return policy then you woud put the lines.

  12. First you would have the two variables. They can be anything lets say there popcorn and movie times. You would connect the dots if we were like they bought 40 bags of popcorn at 3:30 70 bags of popcorn at 4:30 and 100 bags of popcorn at 9:00. You would plot the bags of pocorn on the X axis and the times on the Y axis. That’s how you would do it.

  13. When making a graph, there are certain steps you must fallow in order for your graph to be good. The first step would be to create and tidal your graph. The next step would be to identify the two variables as dependent or independent. Then you would place each variable on the axis it belongs on. The independent variable would go on the X-axis and the dependent variable would go on the Y-axis. The next step would be to decide on an appropriate scale for your graph. Once you have picked a good scale, label the points on your graph. Be sure to connect the points (if needed) and keep your graph neat!

  14. The two variables that I’d use would probably be time and number of laps I could run around the school track in that amount of time. The steps I’d take in making a graph are creating the data to be put down in the graph and the coordinates I’d need to make the graph. The relationship between the two variables is time and number of laps I can run in that amount of time. I would connect lines between the dots to show how much time has elapsed between the laps that I ran.

  15. The steps in making a graph with two variables is pretty simple, all you have to do is identify the two variables and decide whether which one is independent and which one is dependent. Ex: (time, number of jumping jacks.)
    One tip you should always know is that dependent variable is always going to be on the y-axis and the independent variable will always be on the x-axis. X-axis will always be independent because you can never rewind time, and you could never complete the graph without a dependent variable (y-axis) because you depend on it; ex:( how could you calculate time without the number of jumping jacks?.)
    Now you shall select a scale for the x and y axes, scale is the number you’re counting by. You should always connect the points with line segments on the graph because then you can see the difference in time easier, as well as seeing the difference in ever year, or month, etc.

  16. First I wood drall a big l and then I wood pot the x axes on the bottm then I wood put the y at the top.
    Then at the botm I wood put the time at the bottm and put the number of jummping jaks as the totle by the side. Then I wood number thru 10 to a 100. Then at the botm I wood put the time at the bootm the I wood put the dots on the lin the drall a line throw it.

  17. The two related variables are the independent and the dependent variables. The independent variable always goes on the x-axis and the dependent goes to the y-axis. The independent variable is true to its name; it’s doesn’t need/relay on anything or one. While the dependent variable is the biggest baby of all, it always will forever and ever relay on the independent variable. Time is usually the independent or heartbeats, but it is always constant in everything; that is why it is independent. The dependent variable is something like sprinter he’ll ran very fast at the beginning slow down then speed back up again; the dependent variable usually flux up and down faster/slower. On graph usually you would connect the dots to show the trend/travel/something sold or gained.

  18. If you had time and distance, the time would be on the x-axis because time is independent and you can’t change time (it stands on its own, it doesn’t need to depend on anything). Distance on the other hand is on the y-axis, because distance can change and it depends on time. Therefore, distance is the dependent variable, because distance depends on time.
    So if you have a situation like how much time it took you to finish a car race from California to New Mexico. You need to first create a title. Then, decide what your variables are and what axis to put them on. Then, label and create a scale for your graph. Look back on the table and plot your coordinate pairs. Then you determine where they are on graph. This shows the relationship between the two variables.

  19. When I make a graph I put the independent such as time on the x axis. On the y axis I put the dependant such as height. Then when you plot the dots you use quordnet pairs. You can connect the dots if the x axis is talking about time. You don't connect the dots if you are saying how many pets you have. If the graph is talking about sales over time it shood show a positive trend.

  20. To start making a graph you first need to create an x and y axis. The x axis is on the vertical side and the y axis is on the horizontal side. After you finished that you now need to make a scale for each of the axis. Next you have to label the axis. Once you have done that you can start plotting your data on the graph. After that start connect the points with lines which will make telling how much time is between each interval. Lastly you need to create a title for the graph.

  21. First you would have to identify two difftrent variables.Then, draw out your graph which would include a x-axis , y-axis , & your two variables.
    You would then refer to your information and start to plot your data on the coordinate graph.
    Then you would connect your plots together to observe & compare your data.
