To graph each proxy and plate velocity pair in Excel:

In Windows: (Excel for Office 365)

1) With the mouse, select (left click) all the cells fro B1 (Plate Velocity) through E13 (0% for the Arabian Plate slab-pull proxy).

2) Under the Insert tab select for a Scatter plot with only markers (non-connected points)

3) Right click any of the proxy data points on the chart that is generated; Select Add Trendline; Under Trendline Options select Display R-squared value on chart. Follow the same procedure for each of the other poxies. You may have to resize the chart or move the text boxes so you can discern which R-squared goes with which line.

4) Save the file and upload it to the HW 02 Assignment on the course Canvas Site

On a Mac: (Excel 2016)
