What Is The Difference Between Sketch And Draw?

It is important to know the difference between Sketch A Graph & Draw A Graph.

Sketch ==>

  • On foolscap paper
  • Best Representation of the graph
  • Less time as it reflects only the general shape of the graph.

Draw ==>

  • On graph paper
  • Accurate representation of the graph
  • More time needed as it usually involves more points on the graph
  • Curve rule/french curve is usually required.

Example:

Sketch y=-3x+1

What I will do :

  1. Find x-intercept (i.e. set y = 0)
    x=\frac{1}{3}
  2. Find y-intercept (i.e. set x = 0) y = 1
  3. Put the 2 points on the axes I have drawn on foolscap, join the 2 points, label the line.

Draw y=-3x+1

  1. Set up a table of 3 values of x choosen randomly i.e x = -1 , 0, 1
  2. Find out values of y for each value of x by substituting into the equation of the line.
  3. Plot the points on a graph paper accurately.
  4. Join the 3 points, label the line.

Good in straight line? You might want to check out how you can draw Exponential Graph here even with NO Math knowledge.

To all my dearest readers:

Sing Along! :)

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I’ll be mine,
And we’ll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou’d the gowans fine,
But we’ve wander’d monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl’d in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie’s a hand o thine,
And we’ll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne

Meanings

auld lang syne – times gone by
be – pay for
braes – hills
braid – broad
burn – stream
dine – dinner time
fiere – friend
fit – foot
gowans – daisies
guid-willie waught – goodwill drink
monie – many
morning sun – noon
paidl’t – paddled
pint-stowp – pint tankard
pou’d – pulled
twa – two
