| Time taken (in days): | 12 | 6 | 4 | 3 |

Solution
Here, number of persons is an independent variable and time taken is a dependent variable. So, we take the number of persons on the x-axis and time taken on the y-axis.
Let us choose the following scale:
On x-axis: 2 cm = 2 persons
On y-axis: 2 cm = 2 days
Now, let us plot (2, 12), (4, 6), (6, 4), (8, 3). These points are joined to get the graph representing the given information as shown in the figure below.
