Meaning
A line graph is a graph where you join the points with straight lines.
About Line Graphs
- Line graphs are used to show changes over time.
- Time is always plotted on the x-axis.
- The variable that is being counted or measured goes on the y-axis.
Drawing a Line Graph
Use the results table to find the highest number. (On this graph it's 8). | Days of the week is on the x-axis and number of vegetables on the y-axis. Add the numbers to the axes up the highest number. |
Plot the points on the graph using an X at each point. | Join the X's with a line going from left to right. |
