The classic types of misleading graphs include:

Graphs where the vertical axis does not start at zero. A line graph or a scatter plot graph should have its

origin at point 0 on the y-axis and should increment in even steps to eschew the effects of distorting the

plot (Smith, 2012).

Graphs which have not been labeled properly on the various axes therefore one may not have the idea of

what the graph represents. Proper data labeling ought to be provided to eschew ambiguity of the graph.

Furthermore, an even scale should be provided for both axes for clear depiction of the information being

illustrated (Moore et al., 2006).
