To construct a line graph based on the deer population data you provided, follow these steps:

  1. Set Up Your Axes:

    • Label the X-axis as "Time" with the corresponding years (e.g., 1905, 1910, 1915, etc.).
    • Label the Y-axis as "Deer Population" with a suitable scale (for example, in thousands: 0, 20,000, 40,000, 60,000, 80,000, 100,000).

  2. Plot the Data Points:

    • For each year, plot the corresponding deer population:
      • 1905: 4,000
      • 1910: 9,000
      • 1915: 25,000
      • 1920: 65,000
      • 1924: 100,000
      • 1925: 60,000
      • 1926: 40,000
      • 1927: 37,000
      • 1928: 35,000
      • 1929: 30,000
      • 1930: 25,000
      • 1931: 20,000
      • 1935: 18,000
      • 1939: 10,000

  3. Connecting the Dots:

    • After plotting all the points, connect them with line segments to show the trend over time.

  4. Add Title and Legend (if necessary):

    • You may also want to add a title to your graph, such as "Deer Population Over Time".

Sample Data Points for Plotting:

Below is a rough visualization of how your data points will look:

Y-axis (Deer Population)

|                             o (1924, 100,000)
|                     o (1920, 65,000)
|                 o (1915, 25,000)
|            o (1910, 9,000)
|        o (1905, 4,000)
|         \

|             o (1927, 37,000)
|              o (1928, 35,000)
|               o (1929, 30,000)
|                o (1930, 25,000)
|                 o (1931, 20,000)
|               /
|            o (1935, 18,000)
|          /
|        o (1939, 10,000)
|
+---------------------------------- X-axis (Time)
    1905  1910  1915  1920  1924  1925  1926  1927  1928  1929  1930 1931 1935 1939

If you have graphing software or tools like Excel, Google Sheets, or another graphing utility, you could easily input this data and generate a more polished line graph automatically.
