A line graph uses points and lines on a grid to show change over a period of time.
How to make a line graph:
1. Use the data from the table to choose an appropriate scale.
All scales start at 0.
2. Draw and label the scale on the vertical axis.
(Vertical means "up and down.")
3. Draw and label the
horizontal axis. (Horizontal means "across.")
4. List the name of each item.
5. Locate the points on the graph.
6. Connect the points with line segments.
7. Write the title of the line graph.
