What is a line graph?

A line graph visualizes an evolution of data over time. The data points represent two variables and are connected by a line to show the changing trend of the data. The x-axis or independent axis shows a continuous variable (usually time) and the y-axis or dependent axis contains a numerical value for a metric of interest. The line graph is very helpful in showing overall trends or progress. If the data requires more precise focus or exploration, it’s better to use another chart type.

Line graphs are among the oldest types of charts and are still one of the most popular. They are versatile, simple, and easy to understand. They can show a lot of information at once, but be careful with overloading the viewer. To avoid creating a spaghetti chart, don’t show too many lines at once or make sure you highlight the most important ones. 

A line graph can be also very easily applied onto or merged with other charts like the bar chart or the area chart.
