In a new window, an Excel document will open. Enter the numerical values in the X-Values column and
the Y-Values column to place the points on the chart. If you need to add more than 3 values, hover the
cursor over the blue corner and when it turns to a double headed arrow, drag down until the desired
number of values can be entered.

Once you are finished adjusting the points using the Excel document, click Layout at the top of your
