Why do graphs mislead?
Graphs can mislead people by the way they are prepared. See related links for good examples of misleading graphs. When you see a graph, you are seeing a summary of the data. Sometimes our data is misleading, so the graph is just presenting misleading data. For example, I show a graph of how much men and women make each year at a company. I see men make more every year, while women just stay about the same. Perhaps the company just has one woman working there. Perhaps in her job, there are no salary increases. I can also not start the y-axis at zero, to exagerrate the differences. A chart should include all the data. Excluding some data can result in a misleading graph. However, in a graph showing changes over period of time, the preparer of the graph has to chose how long a period is relavent. If we are explaining global warming, a plot showing 100 years might be good. But a graph of car accidents per year, perhaps 5 years is more reasonable.
How do you make a x y graph?
Just label one axis x and the other axis y. Voila!! x y graph!
How can one make a graph quickly?
A graph can be made quickly on the computer. Sites that offer people the ability to make graphs include Chart Go, Math Is Fun, and Online Chart Tool.

What is a graph key in math?
a graph key is when one end of the graph goes into a nother graph and makes baby graphs.

How do the graph of x is less than 1 and x greater than 1 differ?
If x is less than one, the graph will be a number line with every point less than (but not including) 1 shaded.If x is greater than one, the graph will be a number line with every point greater than (but not including) 1 shaded.
How can you make vertical bar graph?
put a horizontal one on its side :)
How do I graph what my teacher wants as something impossible He wants literacy life expectancy type of economic system and government type put all on ONE graph?
The categories make it sound like it is by country, the one unifying factor that would make the graph make sense. And that is how I'd present the info.

How do you make a x y graph?
Just label one axis x and the other axis y. Voila!! x y graph!
Is the complete graph on 5 vertices planar?
No, the complete graph of 5 vertices is non planar. because we cant make any such complete graph which draw without cross over the edges . if there exist any crossing with respect to edges then the graph is non planar.Note:- a graph which contain minimum one edge from one vertex to another is called as complete graph...

How do you find degrees in order to make an even circle graph?
all you have to do is get a compass and draw a circle. If you mean graph one, it would be impossible by hand but you can try.
How can you make a graph in Excel 2007 fill a whole sheet?
Sure. Just click on the graph, then click and drag on one of the edge handles (either a small box in each corner, or a double-headed arrow when you hover over one of the graph border lines). Repeat, as needed, to position the graph where you like.
What is a graph with 3 axis called?
It could either be a graph with 3 horizontal axes; or a graph with one horizontal axis and two vertical ones. This would be for situations where you wish to plot several dependent variables against the same independent one, but the units or scale of the independent variables do not allow you to use the same axis. For example, you may wish to plot the rate of inflation (%) and numbers unemployed (millions) in an economy against the same independent variable, time; or it could be a three dimensional graph. And, by that is meant a genuine 3-d graph with 3 interacting variables rather than a graph that has been given a spurious (and sometimes misleading) third dimension.
