You can change the scale of the axes by using Translation and Dilation. The pointer

Translation

1. Position the pointer over a tic mark or label in the middle third of the axis. The
pointer changes to ö.
2. Click to grab. The pointer changes to a grasping hand ù. Drag to the desired
position and release.
Dilation
Dilation retains the shape of the axes, but enlarges or reduces the size.
1. Position the pointer over a tic mark or label near the ends of the axis. The pointer
changes to ó on the vertical axis or ô on the horizontal axis.
