The 2016 and 2017 sales figures for a fruit shop are given in the table: Draw two graphs on the same axes to compare the sales for the two years. Draw the graph for 2016 with a solid line and for 2017 with a dotted line.

• X-axis (Horizontal): Label the 12 major vertical grid lines from left to right as the months: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec.
• Y-axis (Vertical): Label the 10 major horizontal grid lines from bottom to top. Let the bottom-most line represent R50 000 (since the table is R x 1000). Each subsequent major horizontal line will increase by R5 000. So, the labels will be:
  • Bottom line: R50 000
  • 2nd line: R55 000
  • 3rd line: R60 000
  • 4th line: R65 000
  • 5th line: R70 000
  • 6th line: R75 000
  • 7th line: R80 000
  • 8th line: R85 000
  • 9th line: R90 000
  • Top line: R95 000
• Axis Labels: Label the x-axis "Months" and the y-axis "Sales (R x 1000)".
• Graph Title: Add a title to the graph, such as "Fruit Shop Sales 2016 vs 2017".

Plot the following points on your graph. After plotting all points, connect them with a solid line.

• Jan: 67 (approximately two-fifths of the way between R65 000 and R70 000)
• Feb: 69 (approximately four-fifths of the way between R65 000 and R70 000)
• Mar: 85 (on the R85 000 line)
• Apr: 75 (on the R75 000 line)
• May: 86 (approximately one-fifth of the way between R85 000 and R90 000)
• Jun: 75 (on the R75 000 line)
• Jul: 71 (approximately one-fifth of the way between R70 000 and R75 000)
• Aug: 59 (approximately four-fifths of the way between R55 000 and R60 000)
• Sep: 92 (approximately two-fifths of the way between R90 000 and R95 000)
• Oct: 95 (on the R95 000 line)
• Nov: 75 (on the R75 000 line)
• Dec: 65 (on the R65 000 line)

Plot the following points on the same axes. After plotting all points, connect them with a dotted line.

• Jan: 69 (approximately four-fifths of the way between R65 000 and R70 000)
• Feb: 73 (approximately three-fifths of the way between R70 000 and R75 000)
• Mar: 83 (approximately three-fifths of the way between R80 000 and R85 000)
• Apr: 88 (approximately three-fifths of the way between R85 000 and R90 000)
• May: 79 (approximately four-fifths of the way between R75 000 and R80 000)
• Jun: 73 (approximately three-fifths of the way between R70 000 and R75 000)
• Jul: 67 (approximately two-fifths of the way between R65 000 and R70 000)
• Aug: 63 (approximately three-fifths of the way between R60 000 and R65 000)
• Sep: 90 (on the R90 000 line)
• Oct: 93 (approximately three-fifths of the way between R90 000 and R95 000)
• Nov: 79 (approximately four-fifths of the way between R75 000 and R80 000)
• Dec: 71 (approximately one-fifth of the way between R70 000 and R75 000)

Create a legend on your graph to distinguish between the two years:

• 2016: __________ (Solid Line)
• 2017: - - - - - - - - (Dotted Line)

The completed graph will visually compare the monthly sales trends for 2016 and 2017.
