GRAPH HELP

Question

 

( not asking you to do this for me, I just need some guidance on how to graph this) I've been trying to get this right but when I graph this the graph doesn't make sense the ( instructions : Start your axes at -300°C and 0.00cm.)

 

Temp °C     Height

4.8              4.31

24                4.61

29.4            4.70

38.5             4.85

49.7            5.01

59                5.20

68.8             5.40

79.1             5.51

90.1             5.70

100.2            6.01

-70               3.20

          

Answer 1

Since, the graph starts at -300^oC and 0.00cm. Your next point would be -70^oC and 3.20cm. The next would be 4.8^oC and 4.31cm. The next is 24^oC and 4.61cm. You just need to plot the rest of the points up to 100.2^oC and 6.01cm. Then you just need to connect the dots.

 

I think the point -70^oC and 3.20cm is what threw you off in plotting these points based upon the position in which the point was in the table. The way to plot points is to pay attention to the minimum and maximum values on each axis, and then match them up.

 

Hope this helps.
