Draw a graph of this information.
Here, we take year on the x-axis and sales on the y-axis.
Let us choose the following scale:
On x-axis: 1 cm = 1 year
On y-axis: 1 cm = 1 lakh rupees
Now, let us plot (2000, 1.5), (2001, 1.8), (2002, 2.4), (2003, 3.2), (2004, 5.4), (2005, 7.8) and (2006, 8.6). These points are joined to get the graph representing the given information as shown in the figure below
Scale:
On x axis: 1cm = 1 year
On y-axis: 1 cm = 1 lakh rupees
