Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Line Graph A line graph reveals trends or progress over time and you can use it to show many different categories of data. You should use it when you chart a continuous data set.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dot plots are useful when you need to compare across categories, but the zero baseline is not informative or useful. You can also think of a dot plot as like a line plot with the line removed, so that it can be used with variables with unordered categories rather than just continuous or ordered variables.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, bar charts are best if you are looking to compare sales for different periods, while line charts are best if you want to show trends over time.
