In academic writing how to describe trends in line graphs with good English. If you know any resources with illustrations, please do share. Thank you
My statistics students (Bachelor Business studies; adult education) appreciate:
Wong (2010). Guide to Information Graphics. W.W. Norton.
It is a very basic text but includes lots of practical examples how to use graphs.
Hello Aswani Eedara,
Generally speaking, most graphs contain two trends, or sometimes there will be two graphs with a trend in each. As you have rightly observed, the proper language for describing trends in line graphs or polygons requires a specific language tool kit.The following links can hopefully provide you with necessary guidelines and proper examples for describing trends in line graphs.
Best of luck,
R. Biria
