Next you need to be able to do this same activity using your graphing calculator. We'll use this data first since you've used it before.

Think about the steps you would take to plot these points using paper and pencil. You have to take similar steps on the calculator.

  1. First press the Stat button. Be sure that Edit is chosen and press Enter.
  2. Input the data in list 1 and list 2. Put the Total Fat in L1 and Total Calories in L2.
  3. Press 2nd and Y = turn on Plot 1. Press Graph. Be sure that the scatterplot graph is selected and that the Xlist:L1 and the Ylist:L2. Then press Graph.
  4. If you do not see a graph, it is probably because the window is not set correctly for the data. Look at the data. L1 has data from 5 to 34 and L2 has data from 260 to 590. Adjust the Window and Graph.
  5. Input the data in list 1 and list 2. Put the Total Fat in L1 and Total Calories in L2.

    Now it will appear like the applet. Here is one possible result.
