Planning the scatter plot

Draw a scatter plot.
- Draw the axes.
  - Draw the x-axis.
    - Draw the line.
    - Find the range of the x-values
    - Divide the range by 5
    - Start at the origin. Label it with the lowest x-value
    - repeat until at the end of the axis:
      - add 1/5 of the range to the x-value
      - move to the right 1/5 of the length of the axis
      - draw a tick mark and label with the next x-value
  - Draw the y-axis.
    - Draw the line.
    - Find the range of the y-values
    - Divide the range by 5
    - Start at the origin. Label it with the lowest y-value
    - repeat until at the end of the axis:
      - add 1/5 of the range to the y-value
      - move up 1/5 of the length of the axis
      - draw a tick mark and label with the next y-value
- Plot the points.
  - Repeat for each point:
    - Start with turtle at the "origin"
    - move to the right the amount of the difference between the x-value and the lowest x- value
    - move up the amount of the difference between the y-value and the lowest y-value
    - plot the point
    - return to the "origin"
