To draw the line graph for "Movies Watched," follow these steps:
1.
Identify the points: Look at the table to find the coordinates (Year, Number of Movies) for each year.
*
2008: 8 movies → Point is at (2008, 8)
*
2009: 12 movies → Point is at (2009, 12)
*
2010: 10 movies → Point is at (2010, 10)
*
2011: 14 movies → Point is at (2011, 14)
*
2012: 18 movies → Point is at (2012, 18)
2.
Plot the points on the grid:
* Find
2008 on the bottom axis (x-axis). Go straight up until you reach the horizontal line for
8. Put a dot there.
* Find
2009 on the bottom axis. Go straight up to the line for
12. Put a dot there.
* Find
2010 on the bottom axis. Go straight up to the line for
10. Put a dot there.
* Find
2011 on the bottom axis. Go straight up to the line for
14. Put a dot there.
* Find
2012 on the bottom axis. Go straight up to the line for
18. Put a dot there.
3.
Connect the dots: Use a ruler or straight edge to draw straight lines connecting the dots in order from left to right:
* Connect the 2008 dot to the 2009 dot.
* Connect the 2009 dot to the 2010 dot.
* Connect the 2010 dot to the 2011 dot.
* Connect the 2011 dot to the 2012 dot.
Your final graph should show a line that goes up from 2008 to 2009, dips down slightly to 2010, then goes up steadily through 2011 and 2012.
Final Answer:
The line graph is drawn by plotting the points (2008, 8), (2009, 12), (2010, 10), (2011, 14), and (2012, 18) on the provided grid and connecting them with straight line segments in chronological order.
