A graph is a chart or drawing that shows the relationship between changing things.
It is a diagram displaying the relationship between numbers or amounts.
Most graphs use bars, lines, or parts of a circle to display data.
Line graphs
A line graph is a diagram, usually a line or curve, which shows how two or more sets of numbers
or measurements are related.
The names of the axes on a graph are the vertical axis and the horizontal axis
The vertical axis is sometimes called the y axis, and the horizontal axis is sometimes called the x axis.
Here is an example of a common graph that will use x and y coordinates for different points on the graph
(notice that negatives numbers used)
The different types of lines commonly used in line graphs are:
solid line ________________________
dotted line . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
broken line -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
Pictographs
Pictographs are similar to a bar chart but use pictures to symbolize a countable unit of items
Bar graph
A Bar graph is a diagram that makes information easier to understand
by showing how two or more sets of data are related.
A bar graph is usually divided into vertical columns
Bar graphs can also be shown in using horizontal bars
Histograms
A Histogram is a bar chart such as these, used to show how different sets of information compare.
Histograms use a sequence of numbers as units to compare.
Circle graph or Pie charts
A pie chart is a circle divided into segments (usually represented with percentages)
