how do i make an xy graph start at 0 instead of at 1?
 

I made a scatter graph, with the origin value at 0. when i made a line of
best fit, the line starts and 1. how do i make it start at 0??

how do i make an xy graph start at 0 instead of at 1?
 

I will assume that "made a line of best fit" means you added a
trendline. If so, double-click the trendline. In the resulting dialog
box, from the Options tab, check 'Set Intercept to' and enter zero in
the adjacent textbox.

If your first X value is at 1, double click the trendline, and on the
Options tab, in the Forecast box, change backwards to 1.

When you add the trendline, specify intercept at 0

What form of curve do you need for your trendline?
