A Complete Graph

• All graphs are neat and easy to read and, when appropriate, constructed with a straightedge.
• The units (or numbers) along the axes are clearly labeled.
• The axes (the vertical and horizontal number lines) are labeled with words that explain the numbers on the axes.
• The units (numbers marked on the axes) follow equal intervals on each axis.
• All graphs have a title.
• A key or legend is included when it is necessary to explain any symbols that are used in the graph.

Graphs should be drawn on graph paper or resource pages.
