line graph
Connected data points
A line graph is a chart that displays data points connected by straight lines, showing how values change over a continuous variable—usually time.
The x-axis typically represents time periods while the y-axis shows quantities: The line graph showed steady growth in sales over the quarter.
Multiple lines can track different variables for comparison.
