Customising Graphs

You can insert a Cartesian graph or quadrant graph into a page or generate a graph from an equation or a table of values. Once you have inserted the graph, you can customise the title of the graph and edit the start point, end point, labels and grid lines of its axes. You can also add a line of best fit based on the points in the graph.

NOTE: You can also manipulate a graph's position, size and rotation.
