Then you would use Edit > Stroke path to stroke the lines, in Line mode when you can use various dot patterns (and even define your own). You can also stroke the same path before hand in Tool mode with the erase to erase the existing line before restroking.
However... it would be about as fast and give a much cleaner result to use the Measure tool to measure the distance between each point and the X axis, enter that in a spreadsheet, apply a scaling factor, and recreate the curves with the dotted lines you want directly with the spreadsheet app.
Many thanks for the help. I found a different and very quick solution trying yours. For some reason 'Edit > Stroke path' was disabled for me. Perhaps because I had the colour selected. However, I tried 'Edit > Stroke selection' and, from there, I could very quickly chose a line style (dashed, dotted etc.) and fill that into the selection I had. For 5 lines, after a little experimentation, this was a work of about 1 minute or less per graph.
