There are times when there is no logic in doing so. For example, suppose you had a graph of the heights and weights of a class of students. Each data point would be an ordered pair representing the height and weight of a particular student. What, if anything, would a line connecting one student to the next represent?
a line graph
Pie chart or circle graph!
An approximation of a parabola. (It would be an exact parabola if you graph all numbers, not just natural numbers.)
Simply put, a velocity time graph is velocity (m/s) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X and a position time graph is distance (m) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X if you where to find the slope of a tangent on a distance time graph, it would give you the velocity whereas the slope on a velocity time graph would give you the acceleration.
You can use graph paper
Line plot
American women in terms of their physical heights.
You would not use a graph to determine one person's height at a single point in time. You could use a line graph to track the height of a person over time. You could use a histogram to determine the heights of lots of people at one time.
When wanting to compare information. It makes it easy to see the differences in the heights of 2 or more bars side by side.
Look at the equation for kinetic energy.It is clear that relation between mass and kinetic energy is linear (you would get a straight line on the graph), while the relation between speed and kinetic energy is quadratic (you would get a curve, specifically a parabola).
The best graph or chart that would be used for showing the relation between bird wing length and average flight distance is the line graph. This type of graph will best show the relation between the two.
Line graph. I would suggest a scatter graph. That would allow you to determine the line of best fit.

It can be, but not necessarily. If I had the heights (continuous variable) of a class of students I might use a histogram. Conversely, if I had the number of cars (discrete variable) driving by every minute, I would use a line graph. It all depends on which kind of graph conveys the information to your audience in the best way.
