label your axes, (2) show grid lines, (3) plot the points, (4)

Plot the above data table on page 2. Remember to (1) label your axes, (2) show grid lines, (3) plot the points, (4) insert a linear trendline that has an intercept set to the origin, and (5) display the equation on the graph. After plotting the points on the graph above, known as your Hubble diagram, copy-paste it into the graph placeholder above on page 3. 6. What is your Hubble constant? This is the slope of your best-fit line. Hint: the number in front of the "x" variable 7. How does your Hubble constant compare to the currently accepted value of 72 (km/s) / Mpc? V. Age and size of the universe 8. Estimate the radius of the observable universe using c = H x D, where c = 3 * 10: km/s and H = your Hubble constant 9. Convert this from Mpc (megaparsecs) to light years by multiplying by 3.3 x 10. 10. Divide your Hubble constant by 1 x 1012 to convert it from (km/s) / Mpc to (kum/yr) /km. Then take the inverse (1/H). This is your age of the universe
