vertical line graph

A vertical line graph is a way of showing discrete data results from a frequency table.

We don’t use this type of graph for continuous data.

It is similar to a bar chart, but the bars aren’t as wide – they look like lines. The lengths of the lines show the frequency.

The table shows the number of cups of coffee a group of people drink each day.

We can use a vertical line graph to record the information.

We sometimes refer to a ‘vertical line graph’ as ‘bar line graph’.
