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 are the basic elements of a graph?

x and y axis are the basic elements of graph because without them graph cannot be in existence. otherwise you may consider ordinate, abscissa, scale of graph and cartesian plane to be fundamental as well.

How can you tell on a distance time graph if the object is moving towards or away from you?

Only if you know your location (the coordinate on the distance scale and the time scale) where "you" are can you infer if the object is moving towards you (the absolute distance to the object is decreasing) or away from you (the distance is increasing).
