What type of data is best displayed graphically on a line graph?

Which data would be best analyzed and communicated using a histogram?
It's obviously part of the lethogram which is used to measure ciramic units.
What is the difference between double bar graph and double line graph?
A double bar graph is a graph that uses pairs of bars to compare and show the relationship between data. However, a double line graph is a grid graph that uses pairs of lines to compare and show the relationship between data.
Why do you use a line graph and bar graph?
A line graph is most often used to show the passage of time, and the points are placed in a specific order to show the change from one point to the next. A bar graph displays a set of statistics with no particular order to them.
What kind of information is on a pie graph?
Any information where many parts make up a whole, such as if you were to find how many apples, oranges, or bananas there were in a bag of fruits, the bag of fruits would be the whole and apples, oranges, and bananas would be the sections of the graph
How could a line graph be misleading?
It could skip numbers, such as if you are counting by 3's (3,6,9,12,15) then it could have wrong numbers, and there could also be other misleading stuff too.
+++
It could be misleading if the values themselves are incorrect, or if the line is a best-fit trace drawn erroneously, perhaps on a graph of points that genuinely do not really follow a discreet numerical law.
What 4 things do a line graph need?

What is an exploded pie chart?
An exploded pie chart is a pie chart with one (or more) of the segments pulled away from the centre.
What is an axis in an independant variable in a Line graph?
The independent variable is on the x-axis.
What is a divergent bar graph?
A graph with a data spread which is both positive and negative can be displayed on a divergent bar graph. These could be constructed on either the x or y axis. Most of you will have seen such a graph which has been drawn on a population pyramid.
What type of data would you use a bar graph to show?
Bar graphs are an excellent way to show overall trends. Example sales for the months of the year - with y-axis "Amount of Sales in Dollar Amounts" and x-axis "Months of the Year" or visa vera. The bar can be either vertically or horizontally. Bar graphs are usually a simple chart.
What type of data would you use a line graph to show?
Line graphs are similar to bar graphs. With x and y axis. Line graphs allow you to add additional information. Example: y-axis being the number of people, x-axis in years. Allowing you to have various divisions of categories. Men, Women, Children, Total.
yep
How are a table of data and a bar graph alike?
A table of data and a bar graph are the same because they both provide information.
How do you make a pie chart using percentages?
First turn your percentage into a decimal by dividing it by 100 ,e.g 78% would become 0.78. Then multiply your answer by 360. e.g. 0.78 x 360 =280.8 degrees.
Therefore: percentage divided by 100 multiply by 360 = percentage shown in pie chart
Pie graphs are good for showing portions of the whole. Like if you wanted to show expenditures of a business as percentages (or portions) of the whole. So there may be a section of the 'pie' for labor, a section for rent, a section for utilities, etc.
This may be more useful than looking at raw dollars, especially if comparing two companies in the same industry, but of different sizes. One might have 2 million dollars in expenses for the year, while the other has $500,000 a year, but they may have similar proportions. Or you may find out that one company has a bigger portion spent on rent, than the other, for example.
What is the probability of getting a number less than 4 in a pie chart?
It depends on the pie chart. It may not have any numbers less than 4, or all of them.
What is a line on a graph called?
If it is a straight line it is called a line.
If it is a curved line it is called a curve.
If this is the best answer I can hope to get I don't think I will waste my time again!!!!!

Well, it depends on which line you are talking about. The x-axis (or horizontal line) is called the abscissa. The y-axis (or vertical line) is called the ordinate. Is that the lines you were talking about?
No, this was a question in a crossword and I believe that they were talking about the line joining two points on the graph. After completing the rest of the crossword the only possible answer was ordinate. It just shows how some crossword compilers stretch their clues.
