Question

4.Why might there be a break in the vertical axis on a line graph?

A. Numbers in that range have been left out.
B. Those numbers aren't important.
C. There was no data available for those numbers.
D. The creator of the graph made a mistake. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

there was no data available for those numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

if you want to graph at intervals of (for example) 15, but your numbers are ranging from 115 - 200, you don't want to a huge blank space from 0 - 115 on the y-axis.

if you create a break at the bottom (and only the bottom) you can start at 100 and have intervals of 15 from there. this eliminates dead space on a graph.
