What scale should you use for the vertical axis if the graph paper is 12 squares tall?

First find the range of the y - values.
Divide this number by 12.
Round UP to some convenient number to work with eg 5, 10, 12 (if months), 100, etc. That is your scale.
If all your y - values are positive but go down to near 0, you should use the maximum value of y as the range.

How many 1 cm squares are on graph paper?
It depends on the size of the sheet of paper
What is graph paper?
Paper with large squares made up of 100 smaller squares to aid people draw the scales and plot their graphs easier.
How many 1 millimeter squares are in a sheet of a4 graph paper that measures 210 mm by 297 mm?
There are 62,370 1 millimeter squares in a sheet of A4 graph paper that measures 210 mm by 297 mm. This calculation is obtained by multiplying the length of the paper (210 mm) by the width of the paper (297 mm).
How many 1 by 1m squares are there in a graph paper?
100
What is The scale for a graph should always span from?
Step 1: When making a graph on graph paper, it is important to have graph paper with fine enough divisions to give you useful information from your graph. One acceptabletype of graph paper is Purdue Form F, available at the bookstores. Not acceptable graph paper includes pages out of your lab notebook or quad-rule paper (4 squares per inch).Step 2: After selecting a suitable piece of paper, grab a ruler. It is time to draw your axes. You will need a y-axis (up and down) and an x-axis (side to side). Typically, but not always, these will intersect in the lower left corner of your graph paper. Graphs are always Y vs. X. For example a graph of mass vs. volume would have mass on the y-axis and volume on the x-axis.Take a look at your data. One set of data probably spans a much larger range than the other. You will want to orient your graph paper so that the larger data set will be plotted on the long side of the paper. (Do not be afraid to turn your paper sideways. Your TA is smart and will know which way to hold the graph while looking at it.) Now use that ruler to draw you axes. Don't forget to label them each with a name and proper units.Step 3: Now that your axes are drawn, you need to divide them properly. Unless you are making a graph on logrithmic paper (if all the squares on your paper are evenly spaced, you are not) it is important to keep the spacing even along the axis. For example, if you decide that 5 squares is .1 cm on the x-axis, then 5 squares must be .1 cm the whole length of the axis. (5 squares = .1 cm, 10 squares = .2 cm, 15 squares = .3 cm... I think you get the point) In order to get the best possible data from your graph, you should spread your values along the axes as far as possible. You bought the whole page, now use it!
What does the graph for X equals y2 plus 1 look like?
im not sure sure but i think it is squares on paper and a graph then put the information on to it durr.... ;]
How many boxes are there in graph paper?
The number of boxes on graph paper depends on the size and dimensions of the paper. A standard grid paper may have 4 squares per inch, resulting in 16 boxes per square inch. However, larger grid papers may have more boxes.
The vertical axis of the ecg paper measures?
EKG paper is a grid where time is measured along the horizontal axis, of EKG graph paper and where to measure the components of the EKG wave form.
How can one print free graph paper?
One can print free graph paper, by downloading graph paper files from the internet and then printing them. That will cost nothing, except for some paper and ink.
What should you do a bar graph on?
You would make it on graph paper so you can go by even axis...
Why is paper squared?
Squares are easier to fold, but all origami are not squares. Some are rectangles, and even circles. The person that created this, probably thought squares were better too.
What is the greatest number on the vertical axis?
There is no greatest value on either axis - they go on forever. However, when drawing a graph or chart, choose your scale so that each unit is a sensible measure, which depends upon the amount of space you have to draw your graph in and the largest value that needs to be shown, and then mark sensible intervals. When using graph paper, you should notice that there are big squares, ½ big squares and little squares marked, the bigger squares being marked by thicker lines. The ½ big squares are marked every 5 little squares and the big squares marked every 10 little squares. To decide the largest value on an axis, count how many big squares long the axis is, multiply by 10 (to get how many little squares there are) and divide this into the largest value you need to display and round the result UP to the next sensible measure. A sensible measure is 1, 2, 5, 10, 0.5, 0.2, 0.1 etc for each little square - the sensible measure is so that it is easy to sub-divide each little square for values that are not exact multiples so that part way along the little squares can be drawn. Each axis is usually labelled at each big square, so the largest value written would depend upon how many big squares there are. Graph paper is printed at different scales, but a common one is that each little square is 2 mm, each ½ big square is 1 cm and each big square is 2 cm.
