The opposite of a discrete graph is a continuous graph. A continuous graph is where one of the variables (usually time) can continue on past what the graph says. An example would be if some one was traking the weather hour be hour. They could stop the graph at one point, but the information carries on. A discrete graph is where niether of the variables could be carried out past the graph. An example would be a shirt sale graph of how many shirts for a certain amount of money. Technically, you could have five dollars for half a shirt but realistically, you wouldn't cut a shirt in half

Is a linear graph considered to be a continuous graph?
It can be continuous or discrete.
Can a graph be both discrete and linear?
Yes, it can.
How can you tell if a graph is a continuous function or a discrete function?
The graph of a continuous function will not have any 'breaks' or 'gaps' in it. You can draw it without lifting your pencil or pen. The graph of a discrete function will just be a set of lines.
What is commonly used to show discrete data?
Bar graph.
How can you use a graph to find out if the domain is continuous or discrete?
If you can trace the graph without lifting your pencil then it is continuous.
