🛎️ How to Draw a Line Graph?
- Plot each pair of values from a table as a dot on the graph.
- Join neighbouring dots with straight lines.
🛎️ How to Read a Line Graph?
- Use the x-axis to find the input (the input is often time).
- Read across to the line, then down the y-axis to find the output.
🛎️ When to Use a Curve Graph?
- Use a curve when the relationship is not linear.
- Fit the data points with one smooth curve.
🛎️ Line Graphs vs. Curve Graphs
- Line graphs use straight lines to show changes over time.
- Curve graphs use one smooth curve for more complex relationships.
