2
Recognize different “classic types of graphs” Recognize how the manipulated variable (x) causes a change in the responding variable (y) AIM: What are some characteristics of graphs?
3
Best fit graph Inversely (indirectly) proportional Directly proportional AIM: What are characteristics of of line graphs?
4
DEFINITION: a LINE GRAPH is a diagram which shows how changing one variable (the manipulated variable) X, causes a second (or responding) variable Y to also change in response.

Step One: Draw your axis:
8
Step Two: label your axis: AIR TEMPERATURE Degrees C 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 # Croaks per per minute 10 15 20 30
9
Step Three: Plot your Points AIR TEMPERATURE Degrees C 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 # Croaks per per minute 10 15 20 30

Step Four: Draw your Line AIR TEMPERATURE Degrees C 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 # Croaks per per minute 10 15 20 30
11
Step Four: Draw your Line AIR TEMPERATURE Degrees C 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 # Croaks per per minute 10 15 20 30
12
Step Four: Draw your Line AIR TEMPERATURE Degrees C 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 # Croaks per per minute 10 15 20 30
13
Line Graphs: Allow you to estimate trends: “As temperature increases what is happening to the number of croaks?” AIR TEMPERATURE Degrees C 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 # Croaks per per minute 10 15 20 25

Line Graphs: Allow you to estimate trends: “As temperature decreases what is happening to the number of croaks?” AIR TEMPERATURE Degrees C 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 # Croaks per per minute 10 15 20 25
15
Three Types of Line Graphs Best Fit Direct Indirect
16
Line Graphs “Best Fit Graphs” Normally, best first graphs are only done when the directions explicitly indicate to construct a “best fit graph” AIM: What is a line graph?
22
Line Graphs: Inverse Proportional vs. Directly Proportional Graphs!

GRAPH THIS: Hours of TVGrade 1100 290 385 475 560
26
Hours of TV vs. Grades on Test
27
What is the difference between these two graphs? As X increases, Y increases Slopes Upward Directly Proportional As X increases, Y decreases Slopes Downward Indirectly or Inversely Proportional Hours of TV vs. Grade
