Chapter 1W - Web appendix: Graphs and their meaning. In this appendix, we will cover the fundamentals of graphing, including how to create a graph and the relationships between variables. We will discuss how direct and inverse relationships look graphically, and by the end of the appendix, you should be able to look at a graph and immediately identify whether it demonstrates a direct or inverse relationship.
