Chemistry: Matter and Change Graphs visually depict data, making them easier to see patterns and trends.
Graphing Chemistry: Matter and Change A graphis a visual display of data that makes trends easier to see than in a table.
Graphing Chemistry: Matter and Change A circle graph, or pie chart, has wedges that visually represent percentages of a fixed whole.
Graphing Chemistry: Matter and Change A bar graph, or barph (I made that up), is used to show how a quantity varies across categories.
Graphing Chemistry: Matter and Change On line graphs, independent variables are plotted on the x-axis and dependent variables are plotted on the y-axis.
y2 – y1 x2 – x1 rise run Δy Δx slope = = = Graphing Chemistry: Matter and Change If a line through the points is straight, the relationship is linear and can be analyzed further by examining the slope.
Interpreting Graphs Chemistry: Matter and Change Interpolation is reading and estimating values falling between points on the graph.
Interpreting Graphs Chemistry: Matter and Change Extrapolation is estimating values outside the points by extending the line.
