A line graph is most useful in displaying
data or information that changes continuously over time. The example below shows
the changes in the temperature over a week in January. Notice that the title
of the graph is "Average Daily Temperature for January 1-7 in degrees Fahrenheit".
To the left is a table that shows
the date in one column and the corresponding temperature in the second column.
The line graph on the right shows the degrees of temperature going up the vertical
axis (up and down numbers on the left of the graph) and the days of the week
on the horizontal axis (going sideways from left to right). The points for the
temperature for each day are connected by a line - thus the graph is a line
graph.
