The document provides instructions and examples for drawing and interpreting line graphs. It includes steps for drawing a line graph, examples of line graphs showing trends over time like investment growth, and an exercise interpreting a line graph of fund prices from 1984 to 1994.

1. • 1. Discuss HW- Drawing Bar Graphs/Extra
Practice (Exercise 2)
• 2. Line Graphs- Explanation and Examples
• 3. Line Graph Practice
• HW- Drawing Line Graphs

2. • 1. Draw and label the Have you ever been sky diving?
horizontal and vertical
axes.
• 2. Draw and shade
bars to display the
data.
• 3. Give the graph a
title.

3. A line graph can help you
see patterns and trends in
data.
A line graph is made up of
points that are connected
by line segments.
Line graphs are often used
to display data over a
period of time.

4. • 1. Find the given information
on the horizontal axis.
• 2. Directly above, find the
point on the line graph.
• 3. Trace a line across to the
vertical axis.
• 4. Read the number.
• Or do the opposite. Start with
the vertical, trace to the line
graph, and read the number
