How to adjust the Size of a Plot inside a Table?

Question

How can one adjust the size of the plot in the following table:

 \begin{longtable}{ | c | m{3cm}  | }
    \hline
    Graph & Items  \\ 
    \hline
    \begin{minipage}{.3\textwidth}
        \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{sinx}
    \end{minipage} &  \begin{itemize} \item Item 1 \item Item 2 \item Item 3 \item Item 4 \item Item 5 \item Item 6 \item Item 7 \item Item 8  \item Item 9 \item Item 10  \end{itemize}   \\
    \hline
\end{longtable}

The result is

EDIT: My real concern is the space above the image.

the minipage isn't doing anything, you can remove that then make the image as wide as you like with width=.2\textwidth or whatever you need, you can control the vertical alignment with \raisebox or using valign key added by adjustbox package. — David Carlisle, Jul 06 '21 at 13:06
Does this answer your question? Latex: includegraphics - width and height — SebGlav, Jul 06 '21 at 13:06
@SebGlav I suspect not. (despite the question title I would guess the issue is the white space above the image) — David Carlisle, Jul 06 '21 at 13:07
Nothing is working! Yes, the issue is the white space above the image. — Zubin, Jul 06 '21 at 16:49

In this MWE the position of the image can be adjusted adding a (positive or negative) vertical space.

\vspace*{0pt}

\vspace*{150pt}

\vspace*{-150pt}

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{longtable}
\begin{document}
 \begin{longtable}{ | c | m{3cm}  | }
    \hline
    Graph &amp; Items  \\ 
    \hline
    \begin{minipage}[c]{.3\textwidth}   
    %\vspace*{150pt}    % adjust top space      
        \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}                 
    \end{minipage} &amp;
    \parbox[b]{\linewidth}
    {\begin{itemize}
        \item Item 1 
        \item Item 2 
        \item Item 3 
        \item Item 4 
        \item Item 5 
        \item Item 6 
        \item Item 7 
        \item Item 8  
        \item Item 9 
        \item Item 10
        \end{itemize}}

\
        \hline
    \end{longtable}
\end{document}

It is not clear, where should be vertical positioned image. If you like to have in the vertical middle of cells, than see the following solution:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{array, longtable}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\AtBeginEnvironment{longtable}{%
\setlist[itemize]{nosep,
    leftmargin=*,
    label=\textbullet,
    before={\begin{minipage}[t]{\hsize}},%https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/531952/
    after ={\end{minipage}}
                  } }
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{ | m{0.3\linewidth} | m{3cm}  | }
    \hline
    Graph & Items  \
    \hline
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-duck}
    &  \begin{itemize} 
    \item Item 1 
    \item Item 2 
    \item Item 3 
    \item Item 4 
    \item Item 5 
    \item Item 6 
    \item Item 7 
    \item Item 8

    \item Item 9 
    \item Item 10

        \end{itemize}   \
    \hline
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

In the case, that you like to have at top of cell, than try the following:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[export]{adjustbox}  % it load graphicx too
\usepackage{array, longtable}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\AtBeginEnvironment{longtable}{%
\setlist[itemize]{nosep,%
    leftmargin=*,
    label=\textbullet,
    before={\begin{minipage}[t]{\hsize}},%https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/531952/
    after ={\end{minipage}}
                  } }
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{ | p{0.3\linewidth} | p{3cm}  | }
    \hline
    Graph & Items  \
    \hline
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth, valign=t, margin=2pt]{example-image-duck}
    &  \begin{itemize} 
    \item Item 1 
    \item Item 2 
    \item Item 3 
    \item Item 4 
    \item Item 5 
    \item Item 6 
    \item Item 7 
    \item Item 8

    \item Item 9 
    \item Item 10

        \end{itemize}   \
    \hline
\end{longtable}
\end{document}
