Line Chart

A chart that connects data points with lines to show trends over a continuous dimension, usually time.

Definition

Line charts suit continuous time series and multiple series comparisons. The y-axis need not start at zero if the change is the focus, but this should be clearly labeled.

Exam tip

Trend over time is the canonical line chart use.
