Graphs

Line graphs are used to display quantitative data between two changing variables over time by connecting data points with straight lines. They are useful for predicting trends. Bar graphs compare categories of data using bars of varying heights or lengths. They have two axes, one for categories and one for numerical values. Pie charts divide a circle into wedge-shaped slices to illustrate proportional relationships between data categories. They work best for displaying a small number (6 or less) of categories.

1-Line graphs

Line graphs are used when


one variable affects another.
Useful for predicting trends
 A line chart or line graph is a
type of chart which displays
information as a series of data
points called 'markers' connected
by straight line segments.
A line graph is a graph that uses points
and lines to show change over time. A
line graph is a diagram that shows a
line joining several points, or a line
that shows the relationship between the
points.
 Graph displays quantitative information
between two changing variables with a line
or curve that connects a series of successive
data points.Line graphs compare two
variables. Each variable is plotted along an
axis. A line graph has a vertical axis and a
horizontal axis
Steps to Make a Line
Graph:
 Step 1: Use the data from the table to
choose an appropriate scale.

Step 2: Draw and label the scale on the


vertical and horizontal axis.
 Step 3: List the each item and locate
the points on the graph.

Step 4: Connect the points with line


segments

2-Bar Graph

Definition of a Bar
graph:
 A bar graph is a chart that uses bars to show
comparisons between categories of data. The bars
can be either horizontal or vertical. Bar graphs
with vertical bars are sometimes called vertical bar
graphs. A bar graph will have two axes. One axis
will describe the types of categories being
compared, and the other will have numerical
values that represent the values of the data.
 It does not matter which axis is which, but
it will determine what bar graph is shown.
If the descriptions are on the horizontal
axis, the bars will be oriented vertically, and
if the values are along the vertical axis, the
bars will be oriented horizontally.

3-Pie Graph (Circle graph)
 A circle is divided according to the proportion of
counts in each category.

 Not suitable for data sets with a very large number


of categories (more than 6)
 A pie chart is a circular chart
divided into sectors, each sector
shows the relative size of each
value.
 A pie chart displays data, information, and
statistics in an easy-to-read 'pie-slice' format
with varying slice sizes telling you how
much of one data element exists. The bigger
the slice, the more of that particular data
was gathered.
 Uses of a Pie Chart
 The main use of a pie chart is to show
comparison. When items are presented
on a pie chart, you can easily see which
item is the most popular and which is
the least popular.
 Various applications of pie charts
can be found in business, school,
and at home. For business, pie
charts can be used to show the
success or failure of certain
products or services.
