line graph 1

Draw a vertical scale with tick marks

line graph 2

Label the tick marks, and give the scale a label

line graph 3

Draw a horizontal scale with tick marks and labels

line graph 4

Put a dot for each data value

line graph 5

Connect the dots and give the graph a title

Important! Make sure to have:

A Title

Vertical scale with tick marks and labels

Horizontal scale with tick marks and labels

Data points connected by lines
