Syntax:

The “plot()” function has the following procedure in Python.

plt.plot(xcoordinates, ycoordinates)

Explanation:

Here,

• • “plot()” is the function that creates a line graph.
• • The variable “xcoordinates” is a list that contains the X coordinates of all data points.
• • The variable “ycoordinates” is a list that has the Y coordinates of all data points.
