1. Write the graph's title at the top of
the page.
Density, mass, and volume
2. Represents the two axes
y and x -- The vertical axis
is designated the Y-axis
and the horizontal as the
X-axis. The place where
the lines cross is called the
origin or zero.

3. Label each axis with
the variable it
represents. Like density,
mass, volume, candle 1,
candle 2, and candle 3.

4. Identify the data range you
have to include for each
variable. To continue with the
given variables , you'd select a
range that is large enough to
include the highest and lowest
data you plan to graph.
Data range can by 0.5, 1, 2, 3 or at any uniform
intervals.

Use interval of 2, that means each line
in the Y axis is equal to 2.
