24
what makes a direct line different from a indirect line
direct line means both the y and x axis points are gradually getting larger and in indirect lines the axis are going in opposite directions like one is going up while the other is decreasing.
25
what is a peak line, describe it with an example
That is when the data points from a peak somewhere in the graph where they increase and then somewhat rapidly decrease
26
what is a situation where a non linear line would be used
A curved line. The data can go forward in a direct pattern but then it can regress and go backward
27
Give the description and example of a constant line
A constant line is a line where the data points don't vary much and stay on a somewhat straight line.
