What does histogram mean in math?
A histogram is a graph, kind of like a cousin to the bar graph. A histogram has no spaces between it's bars, and the intervals on the horizontal axis are equal.
For example, if you take a survey and ask how many times you went to the movies each year, people wouldn't know the exact amount they went, so you would give them choices, such as 0-10, 11-20, 21-30, and 31+. So people wouldn't have to give the exact answer, just a rough estimate. And along the vertical axis you would have the number of people per bar depending on how many times they went to the movies.
I hope this helped
Is a line graph the same as a trend graph?
No. Generally speaking, a trend graph has time on the horizontal axis. That is not always the case with line graphs.
Why would you use a vertical bar graph rather than a horizontal bar graph?
No particular reason. They are equally effective.
How is a double bar graph useful?
1 bar could be showing information from last month. The 2nd bar could show information from this month.
What do double line graphs do?
They show a comparison between the two graphs. They can show the intersection of the two graphs.
What can you do to a slice of a 3d pie chart to make it stand out from the rest?
You can explode it, meaning bringing it away from the rest of the pie. You could also make it a very different colour or pattern compared to the other slices.

How a bar graph is different from a chart?
A bar graph shows statistics in a horizontal and vertical way so that it is easy to compare one year from the next or one month to the next. A chart, is usually either a circle divided into segments or a group of dots connected by lines. It is harder to compare data on a chart.
How do you draw straight line graphs of the form y equals mx plus c?
y=mx+c
y=slope(x)+(y-intercept)
- put it in this form
- then you put on the y intercept
- then you put in the slope
- ex: c=3 m= 4/3
- rise 4 right 3
- you now have 2 points on a straight line
- if you need more points, treat the slope like a fraction
