Compare and contrast the use of line graphs and pie charts for data representation.

• Both line graphs and pie charts are used for data representation, but line graphs are more suitable for showing trends over time or comparing multiple trends, while pie charts are more suitable for showing the proportion of parts to a whole.

• Pie charts are more suitable for comparing multiple trends, while line graphs are more suitable for showing the proportion of parts to a whole.

• Both line graphs and pie charts are equally suitable for showing trends over time or comparing multiple trends.

• Line graphs are used for showing proportions of parts to a whole, while pie charts are more suitable for showing trends over time.
