Line Graph

In this topic, we learn to read and make line graphs. We also learn to locate and plot a point on the graph.

Topic: Locate and Plot a Point

  • Step to plot a point (x, y) on the graph:
    Step 1: Start at (0, 0)
    Step 2: Move x units right. From there move y units up
    Step 3: Place a point and label it

Topic: Make and Read Line Graphs

  • A line graph displays a set of data using line segments. Data that shows change over time is best displayed in a line graph

  • We can use a line graph to see how a quantity changes over time.
    When the line rises, the quantity increases
    When the line falls, the quantity decreases
    When the line is horizontal, the quantity stays the same
