Follow these steps: 1. Construct a tabulate data. 2. Convert the non-linear form to a linear form Y=mX+C, where m is the gradient of the straight line and c is the Y-intercept. 3. Use the graph paper and construct the axes using the scale given. 4. Plot the points on the graph. 5. Draw the lines of best fit. 6. Calculate the values of m and c (or corresponding values) from the graph. Remember: Line of Best Fit is a straight line that passes through most of the points which are plotted. At least 3 points are on the best fit line. Examples of the lines of best fit:
