What are some examples of when you would see horizontal or vertical line graphs?

Answer 1

Isaiah Anthony

An equation of a vertical line can be written in the form

#x=a#,

where #a# is a constant.

An equation of a horizontal line can be written in the form

#y=b#,

where #b# is a constant.

Horizontal line graphs are commonly used to represent data that does not change over time or across categories, such as population distribution by age group or distribution of income across different demographic groups. Vertical line graphs, on the other hand, are often used to depict changes in data over time or across categories, such as stock prices over a period of months or sales figures for different product categories.
