<p>A line graph is a type of chart used to show information that changes over time. The properties of a line graph help students simplify data analysis and interpretation. The properties of a line graph include the use of a horizontal axis representing time intervals and a vertical axis representing the values of the data being measured. These properties assist students in analyzing trends, patterns, and changes in data. Now let us learn more about the properties of a line graph.</p>
