The question as asked is tough to answer without some assumptions... The question implies that a comparison is being made to the action of the same pendulum on earth. With that assumption... The graph I assume has time on the x-axis and a form of pendulum oscillating measurement (such as height or back (-1) to forward (+1) ) on the y-axis. The period ( time from peak to peak on the y-axis ) of the pendulum on the moon compared to the same on earth will be 6 times longer assuming that gravity on the moon is 1/6th that of earth. The reason why the period is longer is that the acceleration (gravity) on the moon is much less. This causes the pendulum on the moon to move back and forth less quickly.
