Line Graphs- Lesson 5.6d

Front

What is a line graph?

Back

A line graph is a type of chart that shows information as a series of data points called 'markers' connected by straight line segments. It is used to display data that changes over time.

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a line graph?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a graph. It typically represents the independent variable, which is the variable that you can control or change.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a line graph?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a graph. It usually represents the dependent variable, which is the variable that changes in response to the independent variable.

Front

How do you read a line graph?

Back

To read a line graph, look at the x-axis to find the value of the independent variable, then move up or down to find the corresponding value on the y-axis.

Front

What does it mean if a line on a graph is going up?

Back

If a line on a graph is going up, it means that the value of the dependent variable is increasing as the independent variable increases.

Front

What does it mean if a line on a graph is going down?

Back

If a line on a graph is going down, it means that the value of the dependent variable is decreasing as the independent variable increases.

Front

What is the purpose of labeling axes on a graph?

Back

Labeling axes on a graph helps to clearly identify what each axis represents, making it easier to understand the data being presented.

Front

What is a data point in a line graph?

Back

A data point is a specific value plotted on the graph, representing the relationship between the independent and dependent variables.

Front

What does a flat line on a graph indicate?

Back

A flat line on a graph indicates that there is no change in the dependent variable as the independent variable changes.

Front

How can you determine the maximum value on a line graph?

Back

To determine the maximum value on a line graph, look for the highest point on the line.
