Suppose you are testing different soils to determine which grows healthier bean plants. You count and record the number of leaves on each test every three days for six weeks. What type of graph would be best to display your data? (2 points)

Bar graph

Line graph

Circle graph

Scatter plot

Answer 1

In this scenario, you are measuring the growth of bean plants (specifically, the number of leaves) over time (every three days for six weeks). Since you have continuous data (number of leaves) collected at regular intervals (time), a line graph would be the best choice to display your data.

A line graph allows you to clearly show trends and changes over time, making it easy to see how the number of leaves varies with each observation.

So the answer is: Line graph.
