Cartesian plane on Numbers

[Treloar]

Hi,

I don't know if this is the right forum to post my question, and if it isn't please tell me where to post my question.

I'm trying to make a Cartesian plane on numbers and I can't work out how to do it. First I want to make a blank Cartesian plane as a model of what one is, then I would like to make one with a number of points/coordinates on it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this has been getting me into an anti-computer rage all afternoon.

Thanks.

Olivia

I don't use numbers, but in Excel there is a menu for graphs/charts (depends on your version). What search terms have you tried in Numbers Help?

Unfortunately there is not template for a classic cartesian plane, although there is a ready made template for a line graph.

By cartesian plane I mean this: Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

i.e. two number lines that intersect at zero and extend both ways into positive and negative numbers.

I found a demo video for how to do it on windows excel, but could not turn up anything on how to do it with apple numbers.

Any help would be appreciated!

On the Apple website there is a Numbers user guide in pdf download. It's not coming through for me, but you could give it a try and see if it works for you.
