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)
