* * * Graph Manipulation The Goal of Graphing Create a graph of a linear plot with a positive slope. Use a linear line of best fit to see how close your data is to actually being linear. This type of graph helps us to quickly see the RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VARIABLES, NOT how variables change. Linear Form All relationships can be fit to “y=mx+b” y = dependent variable m = slope ? gradient x = independent variable b = y-intercept Two Approaches: Equation First (you know the equation) Data First (you don’t know the equation, but can use data to create one!) Let’s start with something familiar:
