C.James Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 If my uncertainties on the x-axis how do I create my maximum and minimum lines of best fit needed for slope uncertainty? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessskris Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I wish I knew how to explain it in words... it's still from the tips of the error bars. ugh how do I explain it or could you PM me your graph, tell me how much the uncertainty is and I'll plot the extreme lines for you... I know how to do it but don't know how to explain it Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.James Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 As long as I ended with my maximum line of best fit as the largest slope and my minimum line of best fit as the smallest slope (best fit is in between) am I on the right track?
