IGCSE Physics Paper 6 doubt

Hi,
I just wanted to know if you could start from any number in the graph. For example, can I start the graph from 50 instead of 0 so that it occupies more than half the grid. Thank you in advance for your response

I believe not, because if the table of values has 0 included then you must start it from 0. Also, take an appropriate scale and you'll always be able to occupy more than half of the graph

But what if there is no 0 included

make origin as 0, then have a squiggly line then continue with the first unit at the next space

Its always a good idea to start at the lowest value they have provided you. So if 50 is the lowest value then you can use it.

Are you stressed about tomorrow?

Honestly I wish I revised earlier, now all I can do is do 2014 papers and see what I can't do...

Hello there,
NORMALLY, THE AXES START FROM THE ORIGIN (0,0). SOMETIMES IT IS MENTIONED IN THE QUESTION, THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO START FROM THE ORIGIN, THEN YOU CAN START IT AT ANY VALUE (REFER TO THE TABLE).
OTHERWISE IF THERE IS NOTHING MENTIONED ABOUT HOW YOU SHOULD BEGIN THE AXES, THEN I BELIEVE YOU CAN START THE AXES HOWEVER YOU FEEL IT IS SUITABLE FOR THE GIVEN INFORMATION.
