Axes and scales are really important for making graphs show the right information. But, if they are not used well, they can create problems that make it hard for people to understand the graph. Here are some challenges:

1. Wrong Data Representation: When the axes aren’t labeled correctly or aren’t scaled properly, the graph can look odd. For example, if one part of the scale is stretched out more than another, it can make trends look bigger or smaller than they really are. This makes it tough to see how different things are related.

2. Different Units: If the axes use different units, it can confuse people. For example, if the x-axis shows time in seconds and the y-axis shows distance in meters without clearly showing that, it could lead to misunderstandings about what the graph means.

3. Complicated Functions: Some functions act in unusual ways, like going up and down or getting closer to a line without touching it. If the scale doesn’t take these special behaviors into account, it can make the graph look wrong.

To fix these problems, we should:

• Use the Same Scale: Make sure both axes are using the same kind of scale and have even steps.
• Label Clearly: Write down what the units are on both axes in a way that is easy to understand.
• Practice Regularly: The more you practice making graphs, the better you will get at understanding how to use scales and show data accurately.
