Biology Practical - Graph

Hello,

Today I was drawing a graph to plot my results. Once I plotted my results I joined my points up with a ruler. However, for one point my line did not go directly through the centre of it, and was a bit out from it.

I was going to change it but I forgot because I was busy checking other stuff. Do you think I will lose a mark because of this? (One mark is available for plotting the points - I'm unsure whether this issue would deduce me of this particular mark)

Depends on your marker, and the graph type. If it needs to be point-to-point then you could lose a mark based on that, because it implies that your data is somehow away from where it should be (ie an anomaly). If you have a generous teacher they might give you benefit of doubt.
