How do you do a scatter plot???

Question

This is for science and I have to plot the mass and distances on a graph. The first two points is: Mass- 5g and distance 8.5. I am stuck!!!

Answer 1

You set your x/y axis ( coordinate grid) and then plot your points. If your axis are something other than numbers, write their lables. If they are just numbers, then for example: the point ( 3,5) means go over to the right 3, and up 5. It's pretty much like every other line graph except that you don't connect the dots.

Answer 2

just put them as ordered pairs and point them on a grid paper

A scatter plot is a plot of the values of Y versus the corresponding values of X:

* Vertical axis: variable Y--usually the response variable
* Horizontal axis: variable X--usually some variable we suspect may ber related to the response
