How to Draw a Graph - WORKED EXAMPLE - GCSE Physics

This is another worked example of plotting data on a graph. This is a popular type of question for students to be asked and this one is specific to drawing a curved line of best fit with an anomaly.
The question is as follows:
Plot the following data and draw an appropriate line of best fit.
Time (s): 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80, 1.00, 1.20
Distance (m): 0.52, 0.93, 1.21, 1.19, 1.56, 1.61

Thank I used always lose marks on graphs

[@DailyLifeWithG]

Bro, I have been searching for this on the whole Internet! Finally found it thank you so much 😫

[@starlightglitters345]

I really appreciate your help thank you I always had difficulty setting scale for values of two decimal places

[@loleimi]

you've quite frankly saved my life sir thanks a bunch

[@Zeno_Gaming1046]

Thank you so much!, you have really helped me ❤

[@28_rahulmishra32]

Perfectly explained ❤

Thank you 🙏

[@dialaezzo7705]

Thank you 🙏🙏

[@jingleiyu1947]

Nice explanation

[@mujta8a968]

will he say in the question if it is a curve of best fit or straight line of nest fit?

[@user-he8ok5vz9d]

Very helpful👍 thanks❤

Thank you

How to plot 1.22 between 1 and 1.5

[@vincent-rc3xy]

I like it magnificent

[@prettyjezzebel]

If you are going to speak or share knowledge. ,, can you speak slowly to enlighten the viewer about what you are saying this is just my opinion please don't be offended. ,, thank you

[@bumble_crumble6521]

I hate to assume- but I don't think he likes criticism. You are right. But he seems to be either ignoring you or... just ignoring you idk

[@Moon_in_Flames]

Bro how much slower do you want him to speak😂

[@3GenEditz]

I kinda agree with you he didn’t share how to set your scale and plot your points neither did he share the title, the title of x and y axis, but he is speaking pretty clearly to me so idk what your on about

[@marqii.]

Thanks cro

[@yukeygaming8146]

Thank you lods

[@3GenEditz]

What is the scale?

[@solomonenechukwu7881]

I thought one needs a ruler to connect the dots.

[@surfin1234]

Thx, i lost 3 marks last time.

[@dregwu8904]

thx

[@mrmemer2109]

I'm indian and i understand completely
Thanks

[@shevjdewcewcd7934]

ofc. Ur indian use a smart at everything

[@afnan9759]

Wait I'm confused now :(( my exam is tomorrow (paper 6) How is the line of best fit curved? Isn't it supposed to be a straight line from the origin? :o

[@shadeztheone7369]

I thought the same thing too

[@user-ey2if7fm1h]

No it has to be a curved line because it does fit the graph and go through most of the points that you plot :)

[@nathantorresstanevil6958]

Depends on the correlation of the points like @Hiam said

[@alifaakter9289]

🌼😅 wow

Hi there, won't we need a title.

Not needed!
