Dear Maddison,

In Autograph if you want to plot bivariate data (e.g. heights and weights for a group of students) then you use the 2D Graph Page.  

1. Open a new 2D Graph Page
2. Click Enter XY Data Set
3. Put the heights in one column and the weights in the other
4. Click OK

This will show the data.  By selecting the data and right-clicking the mouse you can find the centroid or line of best fit.  Please refer to the video tutorials in the help menu to find out more about these options.

Hope that helps,

Simon
