Question

HELP, please!
I have no idea how to begin this. I have to plot a graph with these values:
Y axis: 64, 55.7,48.1,40,29.5 and 21.3
x axis: 2.53, 2.25, 1.93, 1.59, 4.93 and 0.86.
What scale should I use? I really don't understand how to use these values especially the ones that are supposed to go on the x axis.

Answer 1

how r u doing so far

Answer 2

I tried figuring it out but the values for the Y axis messed me up. Those values were measured using a metre rule and are in centimetres

Answer 3

How about letting every change of 1 on the X axis be a change of 5 on the Y axis?

Answer 4

Would that work?

Answer 5

so, what would the range be for the Y axis? :l

Answer 6

so I'm breaking the scale?

Answer 7

Are you drawing on squared paper or something?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

The range of the Y axis is the values that the Y axis have.

Answer 10

You don't need to let a single square be a change of 1, you can have different scales on both axes

Answer 11

I did not get through with the scale you suggested.

Answer 14

What scales depend on what is practical for you. How exact can you be, how much space do you have etc..
