Summary1. establish the independent and dependent variables, record their respective uncertainty
2. setup and plot the data; include labels, scales, units, etc.
3. using the uncertainty of the data, add error bars to each data point (one dimension might be enough)
4. draw a line of best for the data, try to be as close to the data points as possible; the line should pass through the error bars at the very least
5. determine the slope and y intercept of the line of best fit, be sure to include the units
Finding the Uncertainty for the Graph
6. draw a line that creates the maximum slope possible within the error bars, record the slope and the y intercept.
7. repeat #6 with the line that has the minimum slope, record the slope and y intercept
8. Use the difference between the max and min slopes and y intercepts to generate your uncertainty see calculations above
