Look at the numbers you're going to be placing on the graph. Obviously you wouldn't have the graph going up by ones if you have to plot 100, 125, 150, 175, etc. Order the numbers that're going to be graphed in order from least to greatest.
For example: Let's say our numbers are 10, 19, 35, 52, and 78. We can't do ones, as the graph would be to small, we can't do fifty's as the graph would be to big. We could go fives or tens. That would be more appropriate.
The appropriate scale to use is always dependant on the numbers you have to plot or graph. If we graph in the thousands we can just use ones and on the "Y" axis denote that all plotted numbers are in thousands.
