how do i graph a regression analysis?

[Brad]

i am learning (slowly) how to perform a regression analysis on two columns of
data. Excel has given me a formula and i came up with an answer using the
LINEST function. How do i turn this into a graph or does Excel do it for me.
I'd like to see the different points scattered. thanks

Brad -

Arrange data with X values on the left and Y values on the right. Select
both ranges. Create an XY (Scatter) chart.

Or, use the Regression tool of Excel's Analysis ToolPak, in which case Excel
automatically provides a scatter chart of the original data with the best
fit line.

Or, after creating an XY (Scatter) chart of the original data, select the
data series (click on a point), and insert a trendline.
