What a line graph is.
A line graph connects values in sequence, usually across time. It makes direction, pace of change and recurring patterns easier to see than a table of the same values.
Use one line for a single trend or several lines when the series share the same unit and time scale. Label the axes so readers know exactly what the points measure.

Common questions
What is a line graph?
A chart that connects ordered data points with lines, commonly used to show trends and changes over time.
When should I use a line graph?
Use it when the order of values matters, especially for time series such as sales, temperature, traffic or performance measurements.
Can I compare multiple data series?
Yes. Give each series the same x-axis and compatible units so their trends can be compared fairly.
What should the axes show?
The horizontal axis normally shows time or another ordered category. The vertical axis shows the measurement and its unit.
