What type of graph would you use to display various types of data?

. . . a Line graph.Line graphs are used to track changes over short and long periods of time. When smaller changes exist, line graphs are better to use than bar graphs. Line graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group.. . . a Pie Chart.Pie charts are best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole. They do not show changes over time.. . . a Bar Graph.Bar graphs are used to compare things between different groups or to track changes over time. However, when trying to measure change over time, bar graphs are best when the changes are larger.. . . an Area Graph.Area graphs are very similar to line graphs. They can be used to track changes over time for one or more groups. Area graphs are good to use when you are tracking the changes in two or more related groups that make up one whole category (for example public and private groups).. . . an X-Y Plot.X-Y plots are used to determine relationships between the two different things. The x-axis is used to measure one event (or variable) and the y-axis is used to measure the other. If both variables increase at the same time, they have a positive relationship. If one variable decreases while the other increases, they have a negative relationship. Sometimes the variables don't follow any pattern and have no relationship.:)


What graphs are used in finding trends in data?

Scatter graphs are best. Line graphs are OK if the trend is linear but not much good if the trend is non-linear.


Give an example of how you would use inductive reasoning in a real life situation?

Inductive reasoning is when someone provides strong evidence to the truth of something. An example would be showing someone a car that you are trying to sell and physically showing them that the car starts and the tires are in good condition.


Why is graphing easier than using elimination or substitution?

Graphing is not necessarily easier than elimination or substitution. If you are good at drawing graphs, and do not like algebra, then graphing is easier. However, elimination and substitution are much faster, and graphing can often get awkward when working with more complicated formulae.


What jobs are coordinate planes used for?

Engineers uses the coordinate planes all the time. When you take higher engineering course you need to be extremely familiar and good at using coordinate planes in 3 dimensions. Architects use them to make designs and graphs of their model or building.
