This guide provides essential steps for constructing accurate graphs that illustrate the relationship between a dependent variable and an independent variable. Key points include marking the origin (0,0), labeling axes with variables and correct units, applying sensible scales, and carefully plotting results. Ensure to draw a smooth curve that represents the overall trend without needing to touch every point. Anomalies should be indicated clearly, and conclude your graph with an appropriate title to convey the purpose of your data representation effectively.
