Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the real GDP in each of the years listed. (Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.) Next, place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the point on the real GDP curve that definitely represents a peak. Finally, place the grey point (star symbol) on the graph to indicate the point on the real GDP curve that definitely represents a trough.
