Okay do something, plot these points (corresponding 'x' and 'y' values) on a graph and 'join the dots'. See if you find a trend.

idk how to do this!

Try to make a rough one. Draw two axis on a plain sheet of paper, or if you have checked one, the all the better. Then do a rough scaling, and find out points.
