Another type of graph that is useful for specific data values is a line graph . In the particular line graph shown in [link] , the x -axis (horizontal axis) consists of data values and the y -axis (vertical axis) consists of frequency points . The frequency points are connected using line segments.

In a survey, 40 mothers were asked how many times per week a teenager must be reminded to do his or her chores. The results are shown in [link] and in [link] .

Bar graphs consist of bars that are separated from each other. The bars can be rectangles or they can be rectangular boxes (used in three-dimensional plots), and they can be vertical or horizontal. The bar graph shown in [link] has age groups represented on the x -axis and proportions on the y -axis .

By the end of 2011, Facebook had over 146 million users in the United States. [link] shows three age groups, the number of users in each age group, and the proportion (%) of users in each age group. Construct a bar graph using this data.

Age groups Number of Facebook users Proportion (%) of Facebook users
13–25 65,082,280 45%
26–44 53,300,200 36%
45–64 27,885,100 19%
This is a bar graph that matches the supplied data. The x-axis shows age groups, and the y-axis shows the percentages of Facebook users.
