How far apart should I put the time labels on the x-axis?

It would probably be most efficient to put the numbers on every gridline or every other gridline.

Draw a circle using a compass. Use a calculator to determine the number of degrees per slice and draw those in using a protractor.

Question

How would I make a line graph to plot the temperatures for twelve cities over two months?

Donagan

Top Answerer

You would either have to plot 12 separate graphs or plot 12 lines of different colors on the same graph. In either case one axis would represent temperatures and the other axis would represent dates.

Question

How would I draw a line graph for temperature, rainfall, and the months of the year?

Community Answer

You will have two lines for temperature and rainfall; consider making them two different colors, like red and blue. The months would be listed along the x-axis and the amount would be listed along the the y-axis.

You do the same numbers on the x and y-axis, but you put the negative sign in front and plot the numbers like there isn't a negative sign.

Question

How do you plot a line graph about experiments?

Community Answer

Start by labeling the axis, then locate the Y axis against the X axis. Then find a suitable scale on which you can work on, preferably a large one. Then plot the indications with a dot. When you are done plotting all the indications, join them together with a line.

Question

Do I need grid paper to make a line graph?

Donagan

Top Answerer

It's helpful, but not absolutely necessary if you're good at estimating distances on paper. You could also use a ruler to mark off equal units on the axes.
