graphs (ap graphing packet)

X,Y graph

This is your standard graph with the independent variable (what you change in an experiment, often a unit of time) on the X axis and the dependent variable (what you measure in an experiment) on the Y axis

Log Y graph

This graph is similar to the XY graph except the Y axis is a logarithmic scale (A logarithmic scale is a method used to display numerical data that spans a broad range of values, especially when there are significant differences among the magnitudes of the numbers involved.)

Bar graph

A graph showing the numerical value of a variable as the height or length of a rectangle representing categorical (non-numerical) data also note that the categorical data can be on the horizontal or vertical axis
