5. How helpful is the collection
of data in any survey?
MOTIVATION
When you were in grade
four, you were asked to
make bar graphs. Can you
still remember how a bar
graph looks like?
MOTIVATION
In presenting data, graphs and charts
help people understand the sense of
data quickly. They help in
determining relationships, trends or
comparison. One of these graphs is a
line graph. Today, we will study about
line graphs, its parts and how to make
one.
PRESENTATION
Carlo’s family is planning to visit
Baguio. They wanted to be there in its
coldest atmosphere. Carlo made a
research on the average monthly
temperature during vacation months,
October (Sembreak), December
(Christmas break), April and May
(Summer break).
PRESENTATION
The line graph below shows the average
temperature at selected months.

PRESENTATION Constructing a line graph.
A line graph has a vertical line called the y-axis.
PRESENTATION Constructing a line graph.
It contains the first variable in the
collected data.
PRESENTATION Constructing a line graph.
As we go up the y axis, increasing values
must be presented.

FIXING SKILLS
1. Plot the given data on a line
graph.
2. What was the initial
temperature?
3. What did you observe in the
values in the table?
4. What can you say about the data?
GENERALIZATION
1. What is a line graph?
A line graph is a type of chart
which displays information as a
series of data points called
markers’ connected by straight
line segments.
GENERALIZATION
2. What are the steps in making
a line graph?
1. Draw the lines for the x-axis and the y-axis.
2. Use the data from the table to label the axes.
3. Plot the points that correspond to each
variable in the table.
4. Connect the points with a line segment.
5. Put a title on the graph.
GENERALIZATION
3. How are line graphs
different from bar graph?
Line graphs are presented
using lines while bar graphs
are presented by bars, so the
name implies.
APPLICATION
The data shows the distance traveled by
a participant of a fun run.
Time (hours) Distance (miles)

2.0 19
2.5 22
3.0 25
1. Plot the given data on a line graph.
