Relationships Between Variables Making Pictures Out of Numbers
Why Graphs? Good way of organizing data Better than data charts at showing the relationship between variables
Types of Graphs • Circle/Pie Graph • Good for showing percentages, or “parts of the whole” • Bar Graph • Good for showing comparisons between multiple answers to the same question • Scatter/Line Graph • Good for showing changes that occur in related variables
y = x or y = mx + b, where b=0 Direct Relationships
y = mx + b Direct RelationshipNon-Zero Intercept
y = ax2 + bx+ c Quadratic Relationship
y = ax-b Inverse Relationship
