4. Click the 'Insert' tab from the menu bar. Go to the 'Charts' menu and click 'Scatter.'

6. Go to the 'Design' tab and select the style you want to use.
7. Type the main title for your chart under 'Chart Title.' For example, you can use 'Time vs. Growth' as the main title.
8. Click the 'Layout' tab and then click 'Axis Titles.' Select the 'Primary Horizontal Axis Title' and put 'Time' as the title for the x-axis. Click the 'Primary Vertical Axis Title' and put 'Growth' as the title for the y-axis.
9. Press 'Enter' to create the chart.
