Line Graph Practice

Front

What is a line graph?

Back

A line graph is a type of graph that shows information as a series of data points connected by straight lines. It is often used to display changes over time.

Front

What does a constant population mean in a line graph?

Back

A constant population means that the number of individuals in a group does not change over a specific period of time, appearing as a horizontal line on a line graph.

Front

How can you identify the greatest increase in a line graph?

Back

The greatest increase can be identified by looking for the steepest upward slope between two points on the graph.

Front

What is the purpose of a title in a graph?

Back

The title of a graph explains what the graph is about, providing context for the data being presented.

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a line graph?

Back

The x-axis typically represents the independent variable, often time, showing how it changes.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a line graph?

Back

The y-axis usually represents the dependent variable, showing the quantity or value that changes in response to the independent variable.

Front

How do you read a line graph?

Back

To read a line graph, follow the lines from left to right to see how the values change over time or between categories.

Front

What is an example of data that can be shown on a line graph?

Back

An example of data that can be shown on a line graph is the temperature changes throughout a week.

Front

What does it mean if a line graph has a downward slope?

Back

A downward slope in a line graph indicates that the value of the dependent variable is decreasing over time.

Front

What is the difference between a line graph and a bar graph?

Back

A line graph shows trends over time with connected data points, while a bar graph compares different categories using bars.
