A line graph in which the data points do not fall along a straight line is called a?

nonlinear graph.


How are bar graphs and picture graph are alike?

Bar graphs and picture graphs are alike in that both visually represent data to facilitate comparison and analysis. They use distinct categories along one axis and display quantities or frequencies, making it easy to interpret information at a glance. Additionally, both types of graphs can effectively convey trends and patterns in the data being presented.


What does a line graph in which the data points do not fall along a straight line mean?

There are several possible answers: The line is actually meant to be a curved line and not a straight line. The relationship between the two variables is not a linear function. Discovering this can be one of the main reasons for drawing the graph. The data points are empirical measurements (from an experiment, for example) and there are errors associated with the observations. The errors may be systematic or random. You have made mistakes - either in recording the data or in plotting them.


What are the individual measurements on a line graph called?

The individual measurements on a line graph are typically called data points. These data points represent specific values or observations plotted along the x-axis and y-axis to show trends or relationships between variables. Each data point is represented by a marker, such as a dot or symbol, on the graph to visually display the information being conveyed.


What are advantages and disadvantages of column chart and line graphs?

Colum charts and line graphs are both very handy but line charts can be made desceptive if scaling along the axis is done wrong, for example to let trendlines appear to show a much faster grow rate than it actually is. Histograms (column charts) are easy to see at once and to understand but they dont allow for performing regression or interpolation.
