agree  Iryna Maslova: I have read "to plot ..." as well
8 hrs
  -> Thank you. Of course "to plot..." is also widely used but "to graph..." is more widely used
neutral  nuclear: should be "plotted"
12 hrs
  -> Is the "should be" based on some info?

just a comment:


Explanation:
"to graph an equation" would rather be used either where a
Russian author would say "графически представить...", or
to avoid multiple repititions of "plot the funclion"
"draw a graph of the equation" etc.. - just check those
numerous hits for "graph and equation"

Besides, in my experience, one doesn't "graph a curve", but rather "plots a curve"...

And again, the difference is minor - that's why I said "should be",
not "has to be"

agree  Arsen (X): Exactly: "plot" means "locate (a point) by means of coordinates, locate (a curve) by plotting its points"; "graph" means "represent by means of a graph". You don't represent a curve by a graph, it is a graph.
