Math Problem Statement
Which information would be most suited for a line graph?
Solution
The question in the image asks, "Which information would be most suited for a line graph?" The options are:
- How much of a family budget is spent in various categories
- People's favorite ice cream
- A comparison of people's favorite hobby and favorite restaurant
- A child's height measured on her birthday from age one to age 10
Correct Answer: The best-suited information for a line graph is "A child's height measured on her birthday from age one to age 10." A line graph is typically used to show trends over time, and height progression over years fits this purpose.

- When would a pie chart be more appropriate than a line graph?
- Can a line graph represent non-numerical data effectively? Why or why not?
- How does the slope of a line graph represent changes in data over time?
- How would you decide the intervals to use on the x-axis of a line graph showing temperature changes over a day?
Tip: Use a line graph when you want to illustrate trends or changes in data over time.
