"I agree with the concept of the graph. Our x-axis should be the age of the person - independent variable. Then the y-axis represents pounds or inches. Can you really do this and make it clear to the outside observer what our graph represents or does it have to be done with two graphs and find a common point? Would you label the y-axis just as measurement increments? Do you need to specify inches and pounds; can they be the same?"
"We might want to just start out with a scatter plot at first for a basis to start with. Label one side weight and the other height. Then when you find a point with the x-coordinate equal to the y-coordinate you'd have an idea about an answer. The increments in pounds and inches for the y-axis and x-axis would have to be the same. Then you'd need to take it to the next level and add the age factor."
