Creating an X-Y line plot
An X-Y line plot is a scatter plot in which the data points are plotted and
connected in order of appearance in the two variables. Like scatter plots,
these plots depict the relationship between two sets of data.
By convention, the left-most column of data is represented on the
horizontal axis.
