Graphing question: math related

[Nocturnal]

How do I graph something that say the x coordinates are -3, -2, -1, 0, and then the y coordinates are: -80, -70, -60, -50?

Is there any easier way than drawing that entire thing out with like 80 hash marks?

Along the y-axis, use hash marks in multiples of ten.

Ahh ok I thought it had to be the same both on the y axis and the x axis. Thanks minendo.

who said the graph had to be in 1:1... a tick can be 10 on y, and 1 on x... or just label the points.

yeah, you have to do 80 ticks

I had some calculus question a few years back that went to 550! That took me forever!

I've had to do similar aweful scales for an electronics class...it took a while to settle on a scale, but you can most definitely use independent x and y scalings.
