How to Graph Data in a Line Graph
1. Always give your graph a title in the following form: "The dependence of (your responding variable) on (your manipulated variable).
2. The x-axis of a graph is always your manipulated (independent) variable and the y-axis is the responding (dependent) variable.
3. Always label the x and y axes and give units.
4. Decide what type of graph is needed. If the manipulated variable is a category, such as colors, or distinguished groups, the graph will be a bar graph. If the manipulated variable is a continuous number such as age or time, the graph will be a line graph.
5. Plot your data. In a line graph, connect the plotted points, and circle the data points.
