Line Graphs A line graph uses points connected by line segments to show data. It is most useful for showing how data changes over time.
Line Graph
Scatter Plots Scatter plots show how much one variable affects another variable.
Scatter Plot
Histograms Histograms graph groups of numbers according to how often they appear.
