Scatter Plot of Temperature (ºC) vs. Elevation (m): sampleBelow is a sample
scatter plot with a trend line added comparing the temperature (ºC) for
six cities in Ecuador. In order to graph the data, you first need to
enter the data into a spreadsheet.
Here's an example of spreadsheet data.
Once you've entered the data, you need to highlight
the data and have your spreadsheet program make a scatter plot for you. This
command will vary from program to program so make sure to review the
instructions in your program. The spreadsheet program will then create
a scatter plot for you with the Temperature (ºC) on one side, the
y-axis, and the elevation on the other, the x-axis. After
the data points have been plotted, you will need to add a trend line,
also known as a line of best fit as in the graph below.
