Interpret Line Graphs
At the end of this lesson you should be able to answer the following question.
How can you use lines graphs to predict data?
Interpret Line Graphs
What does the graph tell you about the popularity of skateboarding?
Hint – is it decreasing, increasing or stayingthe same?
Interpret Line Graphs
What does the graph tell you about the popularity of skateboarding?
Sometimes we can predict trends by looking at a graph.
