💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the wrong linestyle for dashed lines.

Labeling the line incorrectly.

Use linestyle "--" for dashed line and label it "Dashed" for the legend.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a plot with a dotted line, label it 'Dotted', and set the line width to 2.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], linestyle=[1], label=[2], linewidth=[3])
plt.legend()
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong linestyle for dotted lines.

Forgetting to set the linewidth correctly.

Use linestyle ":" for dotted line, label it "Dotted", and set linewidth to 2 for thicker line.
