Presentation of this type of information corresponding to 2 given time period by line or curve on the graph paper is known as a time series graph. These graphs are also known as line graphs or historigram, or arithmetic line graph. It helps in understanding the trend and analysing change in the variable over a period of time. GENERAL RULES TO CONSTRUCT A LINE GRAPH 1. As time (year, month, week) can never be negative (ie., in minus figures), there is no need of using Quadrant II and IIL. Year, month or week, according to the given problem, be given to X-axis and Y-axis, Start Y-axis with zero and fix the scales for both the axis. For example, every 1 cm on Y-axis very 1 cm on X-axis may represent ® Bap between 2009 and 2010. X-axis can start either from 2008 or 2009 (See Fig 2) give different points when plotted on the graph paper. For example values corresponding to time factor are: 2 1s taken on X-axis.
