Graphing involves organizing data in a table, accurately plotting points on a graph, and properly labeling the axes and units. A good graph has a well-organized data table, all points plotted correctly, clear labels on the x-axis and y-axis describing the independent and dependent variables, appropriately sized units described in a key or with labels, and a graph type that fits the data well and makes it easy to interpret.
