Why are line graphs powerful tools in science?

In my experience line graphs are powerful in science because of the relationship they show between two variables (showing how one variable changes as the other changes). But, more importantly in my view they allow the derivation of fomulas. For example, the formula v=u+at can be derived (notice the similarity to the equation of a line, y=mx+c) by drawing a graph showing speed against time.

What is an exploded slice in a pie chart?

An exploded slice in a pie chart is a slice of the chart pulled away to empasize a data point.
An "exploded" slice is one that has been made to "pop out" of the pie, in a way, moving the slice away from the centre of the chart in order to offset it. It provides visual emphasis.

What is the advantage of using multiple lines in a line graph?

You can compare two different data sets on the same chart.

Disadvantage of data table?

It takes really long to make and to record the data.

What are the steps in plotting a line graph?

There are seven steps which are:

1. Identify the variables

2. Determine the variable range

3. Determine the scale of the graph

4. Number and label each axis

5. Plot the data points

6. Draw the graph

7. Title the graph

How is a line graph similar to a bar graph?

they're similar because the both of them trend and trend means to increase or decrease

In carrying out a controlled experiment what does a data table help you do?

It helps you record your data. A data table provides an organized way to collect and record observations.

Where do you place the independent variable on a line graph?

The independent variable is typically placed on the x-axis.
