LINE GRAPHS

Statistics and Probability

 At the end of the lesson the students should be able to:

• Interpret data presented in different kinds of line graphs (single to

double line graph)
• Construct a line graph based on a given set of data
• Draw inferences based on data presented in a line graph
• Solve world problems using data presented in a line graph

2
 LINE GRAPH
Line graph or Iine chart is a graphical presentation of data, with set of
points connected by straight lines, which shows how something
changes over time.

3
 TITLE OF THE LINE GRAPH
The title provides the key words to tell
what the graph is all about. In other
words, it summarizes the data in the
graph It helps the readers identify what
they are about to look at. In the given
example above, the graph speaks about
the temperature in Himamaylan City for
the six days

4
 SCALE
The scale shows the units used on the
vertical axis or the y-axis. The numbers
used on the scale must be of equal
intervals. In the given example, the
scale ranges from 0 to 40 with equal
intervals of 10 degrees Celsius between
two temperatures,

5
 POINT
The points represent the amount of
something being measured. Using the
given data in the example, the points
represent the temperature in
Himamaylan City over the period of 8
days.

6
 LINE
The lines connect the data points. These
help us clearly visualize the amount of
increase or decrease in the amount of
something being measured. When the
line goes upward, that means there is an
increase in the amount of something.
On the other hand, when the line goes
downward, that means a decrease in the
amount of stuff being measured.
However, if the line moves in a constant
horizontal direction, the means there is
no change in the value between two
consecutive data points.

7
 LABELS
Labels helps us identify what kind of
data is shown on the vertical and
horizontal axis

8
 HORIZONTAL AXIS
It is also called the independent axis
because its values depend on
something. In the given example , the
horizontal axis represents the days
which the temperatures in Himamaylan
city are being monitored.

9
 VERTICAL AXIS
It is also called dependent axis because
its values depends on those of the
horizontal axis. In the given example,
the vertical axis represents the amount
of temperature measured in degrees
celcius.

STEPS IN CREATING
A DOUBLE-LINE
GRAPH

11
 STEP 1: Create a table. Draw the
horizontal and vertical axis. On the top
of the page place an appropriate title
that briefly describes the data.

12
 Step 2: Label the horizontal and
vertical. Make sure that the vertical and
horizontal lines has equally spaced
depending on the amount of something
being measured It does not necessarily
mean that you should always start the
scale of numbers with zero.

13
 Step 3: Plot the data points. This time,
you may have multiple sets of points
depending on how many items are being
compared

14
 Step 4: Connect the data points using
straight lines, Make sure to connect the
points that belong on the same item only

15
Step 5. Create a key or a legend you are
comparing multiple items.

EXAMPLE 1
1. In which month did Mr. Reyes receive his highest
monthly income? How about his lowest monthly
income? What are the amounts?

Month Amount in
Pesos
Highest
monthly income JUNE ₱ 14,000
Lowest
monthly Income MARCH ₱ 9,000

17
EXAMPLE 1
2. What is the average monthly income of Mr. Reyes
for the month?

Average Monthly income: ₱

10,000+13,000+9000+12,500+14,000

= ₱ 69,000

18
EXAMPLE 1
3. Based on the given data, Mr. Reyes received a
monthly income of P13 000 in the month of
February and an amount of P9 000 in the month of
March What inference on you draw about the
sudden decrease in the income of Mr. Reyes in the
month of March?

4. In which grade levels did Ricky Deanon win over

Fernando Esteloso?

GRADE 7
GRADE 9
GRADE 11
GRADE 12

EXAMPLE 2
6. What is the total number of votes acquired by
Ricky Deanon? Fernando Esteloso?

Presidential Candidates Total Number

of votes
Ricky Deanon
390
Fenando Estelloso 369

6. It is a graphical presentation of data, with set of points connected by
straight lines, which shows how something changes over time.

7. It summarizes the data in the graph It helps the readers identify what
they are about to look at.

8. These help us clearly visualize the amount of increase or decrease in the

amount of something being measured.

9. It helps us identify what kind of data is shown on the vertical and horizontal
axis.

10. It represent the amount of something being measured.
