What are the different kinds of graph and their meaning?

Bar graphs for things that are either/or, e.g. brown eyes, blue eyes, green, gray, etc.\nPie charts (graphs) to show proportions of the whole, e.g. percentages.\nHistograms (look like bar graphs) for classes of items, e.g. heights of people, say 60-65 inches, 66-70 inches, etc.\nLine graphs for continuously variable data, e.g. speed of reaction against temperature. These graphs have independent and dependent variables, and may be straight lines or curves. Very good for mathematical interpretation.

what is on the axes?\n\nthis is the best i could find for you...\nIf a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical\naxis, a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?\n\na. no motion\nb. constant speed\nc. steady acceleration\nd. maximum speed\n\nANSWER:\nb. constant speed.\n\n\nIn effect, the horizontal line in the graph indicates that for every\nvalue of the horizontal axis (time) corresponds the same value on the\nvertical axis (speed), i.e. the same speed for every time, that is a\nconstant speed.

linear: graph is a straight line that is not vertical.  table shows values steadily increasing or decreasing.\n\nquadratic: graph looks like a "U" - either up (v) or down (^) and either wide opening or small opening.  table shows values decreasing/increasing rapidly, then slowly, then the opposite direction, such as:\nx:  1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8  9\ny: 16 8 4 2 1 2 4 8 16\n\nexponential: similar to the quadratic, but it increases more rapidly, has y=1 when x=0, and does not "go the opposite direction" like the quadratic does.  it starts out very little, like a fraction, then shoots up and doesn't come back.  the table is like that: starts out little, increases a little, increases more and more rapidly, then its too big.\n\nabsolute value: looks like a "V", not like a quadratic that looks like a "U".  absolute values have an indifferentiable point, or in other words the bottom tip of the "V".  it's like a linear equation that is positive on one side where it should be negative.  the table is like a linear, but always positive where it should be negative.\n\nsquare root: looks like half a "U" turned 90 degrees clockwise on its side and only positive.  starts along the x-axis with y=0 at some x, then increases rapidly for a short time, then increases very slowly afterwards.\nx: 1  2  3   4    5    6      7     8\ny: 0 .5 .9 1.2 1.4 1.5  1.55 1.57\n\nnote that the sample tables are not representing real functions, they just graph a general idea of what it should look like.

In a diagram where x denotes the horizontal axis and y the vertical axis, linear equations with only one variable (x or y) is either a horizontal or vertical line.\n\nexample 1:\n\ny = 3 is a horizontal line that connects all points in the diagram which have the y-value 3.\n\nexample 2:\n\nx = 5 is a vertical line that connects all points in the diagram which have the x-value 5.\n\nI hope this is clear?

A graph is an illustration of the relationship between two properties of the same data points. It is also possible to have three or more properties shown on one graph for the same data. Examples would be a graph of temperature by time of day. Another graph might show temperature on one axis, date of the month on another axis, and could have rainfall on another axis. Spider graphs allow graphing many different properties on one graph. Three dimensional graphs with x,y,and z axes can also do this. \n\nTables are simply an organized list of the values of data, arranged in columns and rows, where the rows can be for unique data points, and the columns are for the properties of those data points, or vice versa. Graphs are generally used to demonstrate visually the relationships of the data in the table.

Well, if you're using Microsoft Office, Excel provides many chart and graphic options.\nStatistical software also provide those functions, but they're really expensive.\nHere's a link for some software. Some are free, and others are shareware or have free demos that might serve you:\nhttp://dmoz.org/Science/Math/Software/Graphing/

Did you mean chart?\n\nHere's the steps:\n\nInsert Menu > Picture > Chart.

Hi!\n\nSo, what you are looking at is a linear equation.  You can tell this because there is only one instance of the variable x, and it is not raised to any power.  So, the graph will take the form of a line.\n\nAll linear equations take the form f(x) = mx + b\n\nWhere m is typically called the "slope" and b is called the "y-intercept".   The y-intercept is the point on the graph where the function intercepts the y-axis (the one that goes from top to bottom on the graph).  So, right away you can tell that the y-intercept in your equation is -5 (negative 5).  What this means is that the graph intercepts the y-axis at the -5, or in other words, there is a point on the graph at the location (0,-5).  You can put a dot there.\n\nThe next thing you need to see is the slope.  In you equation, the slope is -2 (negative 2).   Slope really means "rise over the run", or in other words, how much the graph rises for every point it goes to the right.  A slope of negative 2 means that for every increase in x of one unit, the y value decreases by negative 2.   \n\nSo, starting at the point (0,-5) which we determined above, go down 2 units and to the right one unit (putting you at the point (1,-7).  That's another point.  You can do it again and find the next point which is (2,-9) and put another point.  You now can put your ruler on the graph and draw the rest of it.\n\nIt's good to understand how this type of equation works.  You could have also made a table of x values and y values, and simply computed a series of y values for a series of x values (that you picked).  Then you could have drawn the graph also.  But understanding this type of equation will help you in the future.

A hydrograph shows the flow in a stream over time.  The shape might be described as "peak and trough" line graph.  Here's a quick website to look at for an example of a hydrograph:\n\nhttp://mrbdc.mnsu.edu/major/midminn/subshed/sevenmi/vtour/hydrograph.html

Do you mean graph? Look in your math book. You take a pencil and you graph ordinarly basically.

Pick a few easy points like pi/2, pi, 3pi/2, 2pi.  You know the period.  Then just graph it.

When graphed, a linear equation will form a straight line while a non linear equation will not be a straight line

Yes, scatter graphs, but why not try one for males, one for females, and one for all. Investigate if scatter graphs for different groups of people have different lines of best fit. Good luck with your coursework.

A flowchart is a diagram, or a "chart," that shows the steps in a procedure.  It uses boxes of different shapes (the different shapes mean different things) and arrows to show the direction of "flow" through the procedure.  It is like a map that you can use to trace how something works, for example, a computer program.

There are many sources you can download for free from Microsoft Office that may help you on your way. Graphs can, in fact, be created in either of these programs.

Sounds like Combinatorics.  Combinations, permutations, a bit of graph theory, discrete math, I usually describe it as "Advanced Counting".
