Graph Paper

Structure of Graph Paper:
1. Grid Formation:
Graph paper consists of a network of bold and faint lines.
The bold lines represent larger units, while the faint lines divide these units into smaller, equal parts.

2. Purpose of the Grid:
This structure helps in choosing a suitable scale.
It also assists in drawing accurate columns or bars based on data values.

3. Axes on Graph Paper:
A horizontal line is drawn near the bottom edge of the paper, known as the X-axis.
On the left side, draw a vertical line perpendicular to the X-axis, which we call the Y-axis.
Example:
The following information is to be represented as a bar graph: The number of different types of vehicles is: 5,  15, 25, and 30. Use the X-axis to represent the types of vehicles. Use the Y-axis to represent the number of vehicles. Take a scale of 5 vehicles = 1 big unit.
