.
For graph work the following should be brought out clearly
1. Title
2. Labelled axes
3. Scale (mind about consistency and space covered as well as unwanted
region)
4. Accurate plotting
5. Shape (may be straight line or curve of best fit)
6. Smoothness( use of a ruler for straight line or free hand for curves)
