How do you sketch a graph?

First make sure you know which is your x- axis - that's horizontal, and your y-axis the vertical, now you need to look at the numbers you are going to use and work out the scale on both the x and y axis, make these scales in place, now we are ready to plot, remember when plotting do x axis first then y, so along then up. Plot you points or draw you bar plots whichever is suitable for the data you are using. Finally remember to label the x axis and y axis.
