There is no predetermined scale. You choose the scale so as to best represent the data.

How do you use the points in each coordinate grid to determine what scale interval was used on each axis?
I'm not sure I understand your question, but if the point (10,6) is plotted 2 squares to the right of the origin and 3 squares up, then the horizontal scale interval is 5 and the vertical scale interval is 2. Each horizontal space represents 5; each vertical space represents 2.
What do all the points on the y axis have in common?
If the y axis is part of the Cartesian coordinate system, then the other coordinate is zero.Their x-axis value is 0.
What is the most important part of a graph?
It is somewhat subjective what the most important part of a graph is. It is very important that you label each axis.
Where are the x-axis and y-axis located on the graph?
Along the bottom and up the left hand side for most graphs.In the general case the x-axis runs horizontally through the origin, and the y-axis runs vertically through the origin. In each case the axis runs from minus infinity to plus infinity.Well if your talking about on a coordinate plane or a set of perpendicular lines the y axis goes up and down and the x axis goes sideways (if you want it simple).
The x-axis in a graph is also called the?
Graphing is an important part of mathematics. However, all the names of each axis and planes can be hard. The x-axis is also called the horizontal axis.
What is a labeling scheme used on each axis of a coordinate graph called?
A Scale
What is orthogonal drawing?
A graph drawing in which each edge is represented by a polyline, each segment of which is parallel to a coordinate axis.
What do you consider when choosing a scale for each axis of coordinate graph?
I consider how many numbers there are. If possible, you want to make the graph short both horizontally and vertically. If the highest x-coordinate is 200, for example, then it would be possible to make the scale 20, 25, or 50, depending on the data that is to be graphed. This is ideal if there are output numbers which occur in multiples of 20, 25, or 50 (in this case.) If there are several numbers in-between your scale, then you may consider drawing the graph with a scale of 1, or reducing the scale to something more practical. In this case, if the scale was 50, and an x-coordinate was 15, it could pose as a challenge to determine what the x-coordinate is with a scale of 50.
What is the y axis on a graph?
The y-values (the second number) in each coordinate (point) given to you. For example, the point (4,8) would have a y-value of 8
How are the units of measurement distributed along each axis of a graph?
On each axis apply a scale of equal intervals that includes the full range of data points (low to high) you have in the data table.
What is each individual point called in a graph?
It is a coordinate of x and y on the coordinate plane
How do i graph two equations when both are in y equals?
You graph each of them separately, on the same coordinate plane.
Why is plotting a graph important for laboratory?
A simple method of averaging results is to draw a straight line graph and determine its slope and intercept. Every 'point' plotted on the graph has two coordinates. Since each coordinate is obtained as a result of some measurement you've made, it'll have a corresponding "uncertainity". The scale chosen for the axes of the graph must be such that these uncertainities can be shown as an 'error bar' on the graph. Each 'point' in general have an error bar parallel to the x-axis and y-axis. The scales chosen for axes must show up the smallest error bar associated with the particular points. If the scale becomes too small, the error bars will shrink to points and the accuracy of the measurements will be wasted. On the other hand, if the scale is too large, the error will be larger and the scattered points will make the graph confusing. The importance of drawing a graph in an experiment is to give a geometric representation about a data set which was taken, which will be well clear than a table of data.
What is the number pair associated with a location on a graph called?
A coordinate (or coordinate pair); each number is called an ordinate.
What is a quadrant on a graph?
On an XY graph, the X axis and Y axis create four separate areas. Each one is a quadrant.
In two-axis system each point has how many coordinates?
There are 2 coordinate in a two axis. system.
What is a scale on a line graph?
the scale would be how many units or numbers you go by each line in the line graph.
