Line Graphs
How can data be represented?
Answer:
Data is collected information.
A line graph is used to show how data changes over time. It shows a trend, a general direction in data.
This table shows the growth of a plant over a period of several days. The data can be displayed in a line graph.
Another Example
How can you read data from line graphs?
Answer:
To use data from a graph, locate a point on the graph, and read the values on both axes. To estimate a value not on a graph, interpret the data to determine a trend. The graph below shows Sasha’s reading log.
Explain It
Question 1.
Based on the data, how many pages had Sasha read after 2 hours? After 4 hours?
Answer:
Question 2.
If the trend continues, about how many hours will Sasha take to finish a 190-page book?
Answer:
Question 3.
Using the graph, between what two hours was Sasha reading page 140?
Answer:
Step 1:
Draw a coordinate grid, use an appropriate scale, and label each axis. Title the graph.
Step 2:
Plot each ordered pair from the table.
Step 4:
Use a ruler to connect the points.
Guided Practice
Do you know HOW?
