Common Mistakes

Using 'show' instead of 'plot' which does not exist on DataFrame.

Using 'scatter' which creates scatter plots, not line plots.

Using 'hist' which creates histograms, not line plots.

The plot method creates a line plot by default when given a column name.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the wrong column name for 'y'.

Using a solid line '-' instead of dashed '--'.

The 'y' parameter should be 'revenue' to plot that column. The 'linestyle' '--' creates a dashed line. The color is set to green.
