Activity 2: Line Plot

Solution:

1. Create a list of 6 strings for each month, January through June, and save it as x using:

   x = ['January','February','March','April','May','June']

2. Create a list of 6 values for 'Items Sold' that starts at 1000 and increases by 200, so the final value is 2000 and save it as y as follows:

   y = [1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000]

3. Plot y ('Items Sold') by x ('Month') with a dotted blue line and star markers using the following:

   plt.plot(x, y, '*:b')

4. Set the x-axis to 'Month' using the following code:

   plt.xlabel('Month')

5. Set the y-axis to 'Items Sold' as follows:

   plt.ylabel('Items Sold')

6. To set the title to read 'Items Sold has been Increasing Linearly', refer to the following code:

   plt.title('Items Sold has been Increasing Linearly')
