In this book we will look at many two-dimensional drawings showing the value of one variable

(y)

plotted as a function of another variable

(x)

. Stated in different words, we'll graphically display what are the values of a

y

axis variable for various values of an

x

axis variable. For example, Figure P1-12(a) plots the weight of a male child as a function of the child's age. The dimension of the

x

axis is years and the dimension of the

y

axis is kilograms. What are the dimensions of the

x

and

y

axes of the familiar twodimensional plot given in Figure P1-12(b)?
