INTRODUCTION TO GRAPHS 1. Graphical presentation of data is easier to understand. 2. (i) Abar graph is used to show comparison among categories. (ii) A pie graph is used to compare parts of a whole. (iii) AHistogram is a bar graph that shows data in intervals. 3. Aline graph displays data that changes continuously over periods of time. 4. A line graph which is a whole unbroken line is called a linear graph. 5. For fixing a point on the graph sheet we need, x-coordinate and y-coordinate. 6. The relation between dependent variable and independent variable is shown through a graph. EXERCISE 1 1. The following graph shows the temperature of a patient in a hospital, recorded every hour.

Deposit in Rs
(i) Does the graph pass through the origin? Answer: Yes (ii) Use the graph to find the interest on Rs 2500 for a year. Answer: The mid point between 2000 and 3000 is near Rs. 200, so the interest for Rs. 2500 is Rs. 200 (iii) To get an interest of Rs 280 per year, how much money should be deposited?
to get Rs. 80 per year one needs to deposit Rs. 1000 1000 ∴ to get Re. 1 per year one needs to deposit Rs. 80 1000 ∴ to get Rs. 280 per year one needs to deposit Rs. × 280 = 3500 80 Answer:
