The variable x wouldbe plotted along one axis and the variable y could be plotted along a perpendicular axis. A glanceat the graph would indicate at each point, x, whether the value of y was positive or negative andalso whether y was near or far from the horizontal axis. The glance would also indicate if y risesas x increases
