Graphical Method

While drawing the graph on a natural scale, the independent variables are marked along the horizontal line and corresponding dependent variables are taken as ordinates. The points so plotted are joined by a smooth curve. For interpolation, the value of the independent variable is marked at the proper place on the X-axis and a line perpendicular to the X-axis is drawn from the point so marked to intersect the curve. Again by drawing a line perpendicular to the Y-axis from the point of intersection on the curve to meet the Y-axis, the value of the dependent variable is ascertained by reading off the value at the point of intersection with the Y-axis. The illustration given below demonstrates the use of this method.

Example 

The population of a town is as follows:

Year

1951

1961

1971

1981

1991

Population (in 000's)

24

30

40

54

78

104

Find the population for the years 1976 and 1978.

Marking points on the X-axis, for the years 1976 and 1978, and dropping perpendiculars, the population for the years can be interpolated as 65,000 and 70,000 respectively.
