Question

a line graph in the coordinate plane that has no breaks in it is

a qualitative graph.
a continuous graph.
a discrete graph.
a cosmograph.

Explanation:

Define graph continuity

Using the Continuous Data knowledge point
A graph representing continuous data is drawn as a single, unbroken line or curve. This means there are no gaps, holes, or breaks in the graph.

Compare with discrete graphs

Using the Discrete Graph knowledge point
A discrete graph consists of distinct, isolated points rather than a connected line, representing values that can be counted individually.

Analyze qualitative graphs

Using the Qualitative Graph knowledge point
A qualitative graph displays the general relationship or trend between two quantities without using specific numerical values, and it can be either continuous or discrete.

Identify the correct term

A line graph in the coordinate plane that has no breaks in it is specifically defined as a continuous graph.

Answer:

• a qualitative graph.
• a continuous graph. (Correct answer)
• a discrete graph.
• a cosmograph.
