  4. Graphing Notes • Graphs are a way to display data or results • Good graphs contain five parts • Title:Tells what the graph is about. Concise statement placed above or below the graph • Independent Variable: Always found on the X (or horizontal) axis

  5. Good graphs contain five parts • Dependent Variable: Always found on the Y (or vertical) axis • Scale:axis must be labeled and numbered in an consistent way; eachline on the same axis must have the same value. • Key/Description: A brief explanation of parts of the graph readers may not understand as needed.
