A
w
It represents, approximately, a linear relationship with a negative gradient.
an exponential function flipped over the line y=x
The best fit line is basically the average of a graph; it represents where, when, etc. the majority of the event occurred.
Bar graph
Distance and time
The graph that best represents the situation where "as x increases, y increases" is a positively sloped line or curve. This means that the graph should show a consistent upward trend, indicating that for every increase in the value of x, there is a corresponding increase in the value of y. Linear or exponential growth patterns are both suitable representations of this relationship.
Line Graph
a bar graph is best used for comparing amounts, a line graph best represents a steadily increasing value. For example prices of a shirt (line graph), or viscosity of liquids (bar graph).
The area that best represents it
In which of the following situations would a line graph be best?
Velocity change vs Time
w
While a line graph can help with interpretation by showing the changes in values as a line, there are times when it is not the best king of graph for a particular situation. That is why other kinds of graphs have been developed.
It would help to have the graphs to choose from!
It represents, approximately, a linear relationship with a negative gradient.
The graph that best represents a change of phase from a gas to a solid would show a decrease in temperature over time as the gas loses energy and transitions into a solid state. The temperature remains constant during the phase change itself due to the energy being used to break intermolecular bonds rather than increase temperature.
