Complete a line graph using the data provided.
To make a line graph:
The independent variable is plotted on the X-axis. When you are comparing something over time, time is the independent variable.
The dependent variable is plotted on the Y-axis.
Decide on an appropriate scale for each axis and add your scales to the X and Y axes.
Label each axis - Put the independent variable / time on the X-axis. Put the dependent variable / unit of measurement on the Y-axis.
Plot your points.
Draw your line.
Title your graph with a descriptive title (ex. The relationship between …)
