Move the highlight into column C1 and enter

the x

values, pressing the ENTER key after

each one. Now do the same for the y

values

in C2.

Entering data as ordered pairs

Looking at the bottom of the screen you will see a series of tools provided for

you. As before, is not worth bothering with.

Calculator Tip

You can enter the x

and y

data into both columns

simultaneously if you enter it as ordered pairs in brackets.

i.e. as ( 1 , 5 ) ENTER ( 3 , 10 ) ENTER etc.

In fact, you can even leave off the closing bracket! The

calculator will complete it for you.

We could use VIEWS and Auto Scale to

produce a plot (this generally produces very

satisfactory results), but let's have a look at the

PLOT SETUP screen instead.

Adjusting the symbols used to plot points

As you can see, it is very similar to the other PLOT SETUP screens that we

have encountered with the main difference consisting of the list of settings for

S1MARK, S2MARK etc. These are the markings that are to be used in plotting

the points, allowing you to choose different markings for different data sets if

you are graphing multiple data sets.

Set your PLOT SETUP screen so that it looks

like the one shown above right, also switching

to the second page and ensuring that it is

checked as shown right and setting YTick to 5.

The cursor

If you now press PLOT you will see the result

shown right. If you look at the screen you will

see a small cross and, at the bottom of the

screen, a listing of S1[1]: 1,5. This is

telling you that the cross is currently on the first

point in data set S1 whose value is (1,5). Using the left/right arrow keys you

can move this cross through the data set with the values being reported at

the bottom of the screen.
