Graph Plotter: Plot Data Points with a Line of Best Fit

Turn numbers from a lab practical, a survey or your shop’s sales into a clear graph in seconds. Type or paste x and y values (two columns straight from Excel work too), choose points, a line or bars, and add a best-fit trend line with its equation and R² value, the way science and maths classes ask for it. Download the graph as a PNG for your report.

How to plot a graph from data

  1. Type or paste your data: one x, y pair per line (or a single column of values).
  2. Choose points, line or bars, and a trend line.
  3. Add a title and axis names, then download the PNG.

Good to know

  • A header row such as “Hours, Score” is skipped automatically.
  • Exponential and power trends need values above zero.

Questions

What does R² tell me?

How well the trend line fits your points, from 0 (no fit) to 1 (perfect). Above 0.9 is a very good fit for most school and lab work.

Which trend line should I use?

Linear for steady change, quadratic for a curve with one bend (like a thrown ball), exponential for growth that speeds up (like compound interest or bacteria), logarithmic for growth that slows down, and power for laws like y = a·xⁿ.

Can I plot a formula like y = x²?

This tool plots data. To draw formulas, use the Graphing Calculator.

Is my data private?

Yes. Everything happens inside your own browser: nothing you type or choose is uploaded to us or anyone else.
