Line Graphs

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Line graphs help us to understand what is
happening over time. ! !L
ine graphs can have one line that shows a single
trend over time.!
例えば：The birthrate in Japan from 1914-2014.!
Line graphs can also have more than one line of
course, because some times we want to compare
trends.!
例えば: the number of Apple OS users vs. the
number of Microsoft OS users from 2000-2014.! !
注意：Don’t make too many lines on your graph. It
becomes visually confusing. Graphs should always
help you clarify your topic. A good graph is easy
for anybody to understand.!

If you want to try a different way, please go to: http://www.onlinecharttool.com
! Using the data set below, make a line graph on the computer showing how the average age to get married in Japan has changed from
