What is the difference between a line graph and a bar graph?
A line graph displays data in a continuous manner, while a bar graph displays data in discrete categories.

Choose a scale that evenly divides the range of values.
What are some common mistakes to avoid when creating a line graph?
Using too many colors, not using a grid, not including a legend, and not using a consistent line style.
Not labeling the axes, using inconsistent scales, not including a title or key, and not plotting the data accurately.
How can you use a line graph to make predictions or draw conclusions?
By looking at the colors used in the graph.
By analyzing the trend, direction, and slope of the line on the graph.
