Often, the corner coordinates of a shape are plotted on a graph to define that shape. Thus, it is important to understand basic graphing in order to understand Geometry.

Understanding Basic Graphing is vital to being an informed consumer, and to being an informed citizen. Many informative details are shown as graphs, especially as a function of time. Examples include the price of stock or the frequency (or quantity) of some societal problem over time. Knowing how to properly read a graph is the difference between being well-read and informed; for example, many graphs only show the maximum and minimum values on their vertical axis, which may make a very small change appear quite large if the graph is not interpreted correctly.
