Question

Marcus started a lawn care service. The chart shows how much money he made over summer break. Make a line graph of the data.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Step-1. Apply the concept of the line graph.

A line graph is a type of chart used to show information that changes over time. We plot line graphs using several points connected by straight lines.  We also call it a line chart. The line graph comprises two axes known as the ‘x-axis and ‘y’ axis. 

Step-2. Analyze the data.

Given data of how much money Marcus made over summer break:

• Draw the x-axis and y-axis on the graph paper. Write the title as “Lawn Care Profits ($).
• The number of weeks goes on the horizontal axis, referred to as the x-axis. Profits go on the vertical axis, which is known as the y-axis. Label both the axes as per their respective factors. 
• With the help of the given data, point out the exact values on the graph. Once you join the points, you will get the required line graph.

Step-3. Draw the Line Graph.
