In a data table
a) values for the IV are recorded in the first (left) column, and values for the DV are recorded in the second (right) column
b) values for the DV are recorded in the first (left) column, and values for the IV are recorded in the second (right) column
c) units are not needed, as they are understood.
d) values not agreeing with the hypothesis may be left out.

Graphs
a) plot the IV on the X-axis and the DV on the Y-axis
b) plot the DV on the X-axis and the IV on the Y-axis
c) do not need a title, unlike data tables
d) must always be line graphs in scientific reports

A graph can show a relationship of DIRECT variation between the IV and the DV if
a) it shows a straight line passing through the origin
b) it shows a curved line that never crosses either axis.
c) it shows a straight line parallel to the X-axis
d) it shows a straight line parallel to the Y-axis

A graph can show a relationship of INVERSE variation between the IV and the DV if
