STEP 6: Graphing Data

Tip #5:

Plot data when you finish labeling the graph

To plot data, start with the x axis and find your first number under the MV column on your data table. In the table below, the first number is 2. Then, on the y axis, find the corresponding number from the RV column on your data table. In the table below, the corresponding number is 14. Draw one imaginary line up from the x axis and another imaginary line to the right on the y axis until the two lines intersect. The point of intersection is where you should plot your point. Repeat this process for all of your ordered pairs on the data table.
