Unexpected output from ListLinePlot?

Questions

Hey,
I’m trying to plot this:

ListLinePlot[{{1/9.304*10^-1,2.910*(10^-3)},
{1/8.3743*10^-1,2.9054*(10^-3)},
{1/7.4438*10^-1,2.91901*(10^-3)},
{1/6.5133*10^-1,2.9050*(10^-3)},
{1/5.5828*10^-1,2.91445*(10^-3)},
{1/4.6523*10^-1,2.9178*(10^-3)},
{1/3.721*10^-1,2.9611*(10^-3)},
{1/2.7914*10^-1,2.9635*(10^-3)},
{1/1.8609*10^-1,3.08623*(10^-3)},
{1/9.3047*10^-2,3.336097*(10^-3)}}]

But the graph comes out like that

I’m sorry for the probably really basic level of knowledge question, but it’s the first day I’m using Mathematica, does someone know why the line goes up to the left like that? it should not do it

Well, that’s what your data looks like. If the graph isn’t what you expected, then either you didn’t actually look at your data or your data is wrong. How did you generate the data?

Yoav,

your data points are connected in exactly that order given in your data; maybe when sorted according x-values the outcome is more as expected:

ListLinePlot[
 SortBy[{{1/9.304*10^-1, 2.910*(10^-3)}, {1/8.3743*10^-1, 
    2.9054*(10^-3)}, {1/7.4438*10^-1, 
    2.91901*(10^-3)}, {1/6.5133*10^-1, 
    2.9050*(10^-3)}, {1/5.5828*10^-1, 
    2.91445*(10^-3)}, {1/4.6523*10^-1, 
    2.9178*(10^-3)}, {1/3.721*10^-1, 2.9611*(10^-3)}, {1/2.7914*10^-1,
     2.9635*(10^-3)}, {1/1.8609*10^-1, 
    3.08623*(10^-3)}, {1/9.3047*10^-2, 3.336097*(10^-3)}}, First]]

… but it’s the first day I’m using Mathematica …

In this situation you are ahead of a very steep learning curve, but keep going - Mathematica is worth every effort!
