24
Q

y axis =

24
Q

x axis =

A

24
Q

what makes a direct line different from a indirect line

A

direct line means both the y and x axis points are gradually getting larger and in indirect lines the axis are going in opposite directions like one is going up while the other is decreasing.

25
Q

what is a peak line, describe it with an example

A

That is when the data points from a peak somewhere in the graph where they increase and then somewhat rapidly decrease

26
Q

what is a situation where a non linear line would be used

A

A curved line. The data can go forward in a direct pattern but then it can regress and go backward

27
Q

Give the description and example of a constant line

A

A constant line is a line where the data points don’t vary much and stay on a somewhat straight line.
