What is a line graph?

Back

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

How do you read a pie graph?

Back

To read a pie graph, look at the size of each slice to understand the proportion of each category compared to the whole.

Front

How do you read a line graph?

Back

To read a line graph, observe the points plotted on the graph and the lines connecting them to see how values change over time.

Front

What does the total of all slices in a pie graph equal?

Back

The total of all slices in a pie graph equals 100%, representing the whole.

Front

What is the purpose of using graphs in data representation?

Back

Graphs are used to visually represent data, making it easier to understand trends, comparisons, and relationships.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis in a line graph?

Back

The x-axis typically represents the independent variable, often time, showing how it affects the dependent variable on the y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis in a line graph?

Back

The y-axis represents the dependent variable, showing the values that change in response to the independent variable on the x-axis.

Front

What is a category in a pie graph?

Back

A category in a pie graph refers to a specific segment of data that contributes to the whole, such as types of pets or favorite foods.
