How can you identify trends in a graph?

Back

Trends in a graph can be identified by observing the direction of the data points, such as whether they are increasing, decreasing, or remaining constant over time.

What is the x-axis and y-axis in a graph?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a graph, typically representing the independent variable, while the y-axis is the vertical line, representing the dependent variable.
