on a scatter plot, how do you know which information goes on the x-axis/y-axis?

Yes, independent goes on x axis and dependent on y axis.\nIndependent is producing dependent and x-y has same connotation.

if you've got more than 3 variables make sure that you're plotting them in the right place and with the right graph - seems like 3 variables is the point where people start to loose track of their numbers

Standard plot of what?  What is the analysis parameter you are interested in measuring?

i can't give you the answer but i used my ti-83 and i can tell you the points of the graph...\n(1,0) (2,4) (3,8) (4,0)\n\nHope this helps

Right i would put the height on the x-axis and weight on the y-axis. Plot the points on 2 graphs. one graph for gender and another graph for year. Then using different colours for each graph (e.g Red for girls, Blue for boys) plot the graph. you should be able to tell the trends.

depends on the variable, you could use a dot density map or a cartogram or a choropleth map, or evenanother type of map

on x-axis take the independent frequency and y axis take dependent 1.Finally plot the points where lines intersect is the relative frequency

Draw it your self on x-y plane, then determine the coordinates

Depends:\n\nYou can have as many as needed.  As an example I can have a horizontal axis with time variable in increments of years, a variable T.\nThen I can have 1 or 43 or whatever number of bar graphs coming out of each year as x1, x2, x3, etc. to represent maybe toy sales of x1=# cars, x2=# dolls, x3=# balloons, etc. as different colored bars.\n\nAs for a line graph if it is a single line like the number line it usually will have only one variable represented.

The equation represents a straight line graph whose gradient is 3 , and intercepts the the ordinate axis(i.e y-axis) at the -2 position.\n\nthe easiest way to arrive at this is to draw a table of values. Such that you find the values of y, using values of x from -6 to +6.\n\nYour graph will confirm my story, \nBut from mere looking at the equation I can make a good prognosis, when i compare it with Y=mx + c .where Y represents the value of the equation, X represents the value of x which made y what it is.\nM stands for the gradient of the graph, while c stands for the intercept on the Y-axis.

Ahh, a pharamacology question!  If one plots a Michaelis-Menten graph of the data, in order to determine any variables of the reaction, you have to "eyeball" it and make your best estimation- Transformation into a Lineweaver-Burk plot yields a straight-line graph- From this graph you can determine exactly the reaction variables.\nThe y-interecept is 1/Vmax, the x-intercept is 1/Km, and the slope is Km/Vmax. So, with a little Junior High algebra, you can determine Km and  Vmax for the reaction exactly, without subjective determination.\n\nSo: \n1) you can determine Km and Vmax and\n2) L-B plots allow exact determination of these variables, while M-M plots do not-you have to make a best estimation on them

In Excel you can graph the data and then add a trendline.  You can even have it display the equation for the trendline.  Some possible choices for fit are linear (line), exponential, polynomial of degree 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.\n\nIf you give some sample data, I might be able to help further...

That means put zero for x and see what y is (the y-intercept), then put zero for y and see what x is (the x-intercept).\n\nDraw the two intercepts and draw a line through them.

Right click the graph and then hit source data-now  hit the series tab now you have a choice you can start from scratch or if you want x values click on the "Category X axis labels" button and it should let you highlight what you want just get all of the x values you need then click on the button again it sould take you back and you can see what you did in the preview within the box now if you wanted to change your y value just click on the  Values buttton. \nYou can use this to do either or it doesn't really matter where you plot your info.

It allows you to see the relationship between the variables better than you could in a chart.  You can also find the mathematical relationship by calculating the slope of the graph and determining the equation of the line.

A is on the x-axis (horizontally), while B is on y-axis (vertically).

Statistician, or anyone doing statistical data analysis (engineers, scientists, etc.)\n\nBox and whisker graphs are a tool for conveying location and variation information in data sets, particularly for detecting and illustrating location and variation changes between different groups of data.\n\nHere is a good description of how to use one.\nhttp://mathworld.wolfram.com/Box-and-WhiskerPlot.html
