What is a key feature of line graphs?

• They cannot compare multiple sets of data

• They use bars to represent data

• They can only show positive values

• Because it can only show up to 5 data points

• Because it only works with continuous data

• Because it implies a natural sequence in the data

• Because it cannot show negative values

What helps to identify trends in a line graph?

• The title of the graph

• Connecting dots with line segments

• The size of the graph

• The colors used in the graph
