Data and Graphing

A graph that connects all the dots is called (a)  

A graph that does not connect points and has only whole numbers is called (a)  

How do we determine scaling for an axis?

• Just find the points from the data table and label them on the axis

• Pick the largest value from the data table and divide by the number of boxes

• Count by 10

• Count by 5
