Certainly! Let's draw a linear graph representing the number of days a hillside city received snow in different years.
### Steps to Draw the Linear Graph
1. Prepare the Data:
- Years: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006
- Days of Snow: 8, 10, 5, 12
2. Set Up the Axes:
- The horizontal axis (x-axis) will represent the years.
- The vertical axis (y-axis) will represent the number of days of snow.
3. Label the Axes:
- Label the x-axis as "Year".
- Label the y-axis as "Days of Snow".
4. Plot the Data Points:
- Plot the points for each year:
- (2003, 8)
- (2004, 10)
- (2005, 5)
- (2006, 12)
5. Draw the Graph:
- Connect each data point with a straight line to show the trend over the years.
6. Add a Title:
- Title the graph "Days of Snow in Hill Side City Over Different Years".
### Detailed Step-by-Step Process
1. Create the Axis Scales:
- For the years, you might choose a range from 2002 to 2007 to ensure all data points fit well.
- For the days of snow, you might choose a range from 0 to 15, ensuring all the data points are clearly visible.
2. Mark the Data Points:
- On the x-axis, mark the years: 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006.
- On the y-axis, mark the values from 0 to 15.
3. Plot the Points:
- 2003: Move to the point 2003 on the x-axis, then move up to 8 on the y-axis. Mark this point.
- 2004: Move to the point 2004 on the x-axis, then move up to 10 on the y-axis. Mark this point.
- 2005: Move to the point 2005 on the x-axis, then move up to 5 on the y-axis. Mark this point.
- 2006: Move to the point 2006 on the x-axis, then move up to 12 on the y-axis. Mark this point.
4. Draw the Lines:
- Connect these points with straight lines in sequence: from 2003 to 2004, then 2004 to 2005, and so on.
5. Final Graph:
Here is how you can visualize it:

In this sketch:
- The points at (2003, 8), (2004, 10), (2005, 5), and (2006, 12) are marked with asterisks.
- Lines connecting these points indicate the trend of snow days over the years.
By following these steps, you can create a clear and informative linear graph that represents the data accurately.
