AIM: What are characteristics of of line graphs?
• 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.
• EXAMPLE: Number of Frog Croaks
Air Temp # of Croaks per minute

• Line Graphs: Allow you to estimate trends: “As temperature increases what is happening to the number of croaks?”

Three Types of Line Graphs
• Best Fit
• Direct
• Indirect
• Line Graphs “Best Fit Graphs”
Normally, best first graphs are only done when the directions explicitly indicate to construct a “best fit graph”

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
