    • Graphs

    Graphs are visual representations of data collected. They often helped us in showing the trend of the data. They are used in various field and it is of immense help to the people. There are many kind of Graph and each of these serve specific purpose.
     

    Various type of Common Graphs

    Bar Graph

    A bar graph is used to show comparison among categories

    Cartesian system

    The system of fixing a point with the help of two measurements, vertical and horizontal is known as Cartesian system
     
     
    Introduction to Graphs: Cartesian system
     
    Important points
    (1) The horizontal axis is called X-axis
    (2) The vertical axis is called the Y-axis
    (3) O is the origin
    (4) Any point is depicted by distance from both the axis
    (5) The horizontal distance is called the x-coordinate
    (6) The vertical distance is called the y -coordinate
    Example
    Example of Cartesian system
    Find the coordinates of the each of the point in the given below figure
    Solution
    A( 4,5)
    B(5,0)
    C(3,3)
    D( 1,2)
    E(2,1)
    F(5.5,0)
    G( 2,0)
