Linear graphs make straight lines. Non-linear graphs make thins like parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses
what incrament would ba a apppropriate to make a graph of the data
Import your data into an Excel spreadsheet. Select the data appropriately and choose the graph you would like to present your data in. You can use chart wizard to do this.
any points along the line described by the equation x=anything will give you a vertical line on a graph

When the data on the graph is continuous,it does make sense to connect the points on the graph of 2 related variables.
They make points in space related to each other. Now they are connected in the problem, instead of just points on the graph.
linear: LINE example--- line non-linear: not a LINE example--- parabola The other possibility is a graph with a non-linear scale. First a linear scale will have each unit represent the same amount, regardless of where you are on the scale. A semilog scale, has a linear scale in the horizontal direction, and a logarithmic scale in the vertical direction. Exponential functions (such as ex & 10x), will graph as a straight line on this type of graph scale). A logarithmic or log-log scale, has logarithmic scales on both horizontal and vertical axis. Power functions (such as sqrt(x), x2 and x3), graph as a straight line on these scales. See Related Link
You can draw a line graph if you have-- the slope of the line and one point on the lineOR-- two points on the line

Connecting the dots in a graph can create the impression of continuous data points, which may not be accurate if the data is discrete or if there are gaps in the data. It's important to accurately represent the data without adding any assumptions that could mislead the interpretation. Connecting the dots can make it harder to see the individual data points and trends.
no you cannot
Viewing the data is an easy way to see some of their characteristics such as trends, seasonality, outliers, relationship between variables (linear, quadratic, power etc).

When you graph a linear equation, you make a line. A line continues infinitely.
A scatter graph may use a positive correlation or negative correlation, to shows points of the graph in either a dipping or climbing line, and is fairly easy to read the data. A zero correlation is when the points are scattered across the graph and this can make seeing the data difficult. It's a bit like "dot to dot" in a children's puzzle book, but without the numbers at the side of the dots!
No but you do need a dataset or data range with which to to populate the graph.
