I am using equation very often these days. How can I draw the chat by
entering these equations(linear or non-linear)? For example, can I draw the
linear line in the xy chat by input "y=10+3x", in any environment of office?
If I can not do so in MS office, anyone know which software can help? Thank
you so much.

(1) Put in the appropriate number of x values (2 for a linear equation)
in adjacent cells in a column. In the adjacent column, enter the
equation replacing the 'x' with the address of the cell to the left
(A2, for example). Plot the x and y values.

Thank you so much for the answer. It's really helpful. Do you mind let me
know how to draw multiple equations in the same chat? For example, I want to
draw Y=400+10x + x^2, and equation y=100-10x, and equation y=10 in the same
chat. Very much appriaciate your help.

You need one chart series per equation you want to draw. X and Y for the
first equation in columns A and B, for example, for the second equation
in columns C and D.

this excel plot program does not work at all

Andrew -

And which plot program might that be?

The easiest way to plot a function is to enter X values in one column, enter a
formula in the next column that calculates Y for each X, then select the two columns
and start the chart wizard.
