• A bar chart uses bars to represent data categories, while a line graph uses lines to show the trend or change in data over time or another continuous variable.

• A bar chart is used for qualitative data, while a line graph is used for quantitative data.

How can you interpret a simple line graph?

• By counting the number of lines

• By measuring the length of the lines

• By analysing the slope and direction of the lines, you can interpret the trend or pattern in the data.
