No particular reason. They are equally effective.

What information go to bar graph?

You have two sides to a bar graph. Each side will have data. Let's say you are graphing a race. On the horizontal axis you could put the names of the racers and on the vertical axis you put the miles. You would then graph the number of miles for each racer in a bar form and color the bars in to show a comparison.


Why would you use a broken line graph?

You would use a broken bar graph, when grouping and gathering information. You would use straight, slanted, or vertical lines and showing points with dots. A broken bar graph is just like a line graph.


A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a graph?

A pair of numbers that are used to locate a point on a graph is called a ordered pair and is expressed as (x,y) where x is the location horizontally and y is the location vertically. For example the ordered pair (3,5) would be 3 to the right and 5 up away from the origin of the graph (0,0).Is called a ordered pair================ They are called coordinates. They need not be horizontal and vertical distances as suggested by the answer above. They could be polar coordinates which are the angle from the horizontal (anticlockwise), and distance from the origin.


What is a bar graph use for?

Bar graphs are used to graph frequencies or amounts of data in discrete groups.Bar graphs are used to display data in a similar way to line graphs. However, rather than using a point on a plane to define a value, a bar graph uses a horizontal or vertical rectangular bar that levels off at the appropriate level.


How do you make a double bar graph with a scale a title labels and a key?

I suggest you go to your math book and look at an example of graphs. Basically, it is a box with labels on the bottom (horizontal axis) of the box representing the items you are graphing and along the vertical axis you will have data. You will put in bars of different colors to represent the data corresponding with the labels. A double bar graph would be two of these.

What graph use vertical and horizontal bars to make comparison?

That would be a bar graph.


If you wanted to make a line graph to graph the motion of an object what would you put what on the horizontal axis and what would you put on the vertical axis?

You put time on the horizontal axis and distance on the vertical axis.


A straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?

The straight horizontal line on a graph is referred to as the x-axis. The vertical line on a graph is the y-axis.


If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?

constant speed


What part of the equation makes the graph narrow or wide?

its not the equation that matters it is how you map it out on the graph, the vertical and horizontal axis are interchangeable. For example if x is the vertical axis and y is the horizontal axis the graph would look different than if y was the vertical axis and x was the horizontal axis. The narrow and wide of a graph depend on the horizontal axis ( how quickly the numbers increase and or how far apart the markers are spaced) ...If the intervals are counted by 5 the graph would be wider than if the intervals were counted by 500.


A graph has time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?

The given speed is constant for the given period


If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on a vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?

Constant speed ... zero acceleration.


If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indacate?

that would indicate that the object is at rest (static object) :D


Would you interpretations be different if the graph had vertical bars instead horizontal bars Explain?

yes because horizontal lines are across and vertical lines is up n down


If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?

The straight horizontal line on the graph says: "Whatever time you look at, the speed is always the same". This is the graph of an object moving with constant speed.


When you graph the motion of an object you put on the horizontal axis and on the vertical axis?

On the horizontal axis you would probably plot the time. On the vertical axis you could plot displacement, velocity or acceleration.


How do you label the axes on a residuals graph?

The horizontal axis would normally be the independent variable and the vertical axis would be the residual.
