Pick the vertical and horizontal limits of the graph and hence scale so the graph fills at least 1/2 the page.

Example:
Count how many big graphing divisions you have = count
Find highest and lowests number in a set, highest - lowest = range.
range/count = target spacing

Use practical spacing of of either 2, 4, 5, 10 , which is slightly larger than target spacing

Draw a best fit line.

Remember to the write the equation in physics variables

See you Monday
