Tip #4: Use a pattern of numbers for each axis on your graph |
A pattern of numbers must be established for each axis. This pattern must cover the smallest and largest numbers in your manipulated and responding variables. A pattern is a series of numbers that adds an equal amount for each successive number. Look at the examples of number patterns below.
Pattern by ones | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... |
Pattern by twos | 2, 4, 6, 8, 10... |
Pattern by fives | 5, 10, 15, 20, 25... |
Pattern by twenties | 20, 40, 60, 80, 100... |
Pattern by hundreds | 100, 200, 300, 400, 500... |
