Capture relationships between data sets by graphing linear equations in Microsoft Excel 2007. Linear equations allow you to predict values within your data set and view the overall trend.

A linear equation is represented as a line graph. In order to draw the line graph we require several pairs of coordinates. These coordinates represent the relationship given in the equation.

Linear relationships can be expressed either in a graphical format or as a mathematical equation of the form y = mx + b. Linear relationships are fairly common in daily life.

A project headed by the SEI’s Scott McMillan took a step in 2020 toward standardizing graph algorithm application development in C++.
