INTRODUCTION, , TO, , GRAPHS, , 231, , CHAPTER, , Introduction to Graphs, , 15.1, , 15, , Introduction, , Have you seen graphs in the newspapers, television, magazines, books etc.? The purpose, of the graph is to show numerical facts in visual form so that they can be understood, quickly, easily and clearly. Thus graphs are visual representations of data collected. Data, can also be presented in the form of a table; however a graphical presentation is easier to, understand. This is true in particular when there is a trend or comparison to be shown., We have already seen some types of graphs. Let us quickly recall them here., 15.1.1 A Bar graph, A bar graph is used to show comparison among categories. It may consist of two or more, parallel vertical (or horizontal) bars (rectangles)., The bar graph in Fig 15.1 shows Anu’s mathematics marks in the three terminal, examinations. It helps you to compare her performance easily. She has shown good progress., , Fig 15.1, , Bar graphs can also have double bars as in Fig 15.2. This graph gives a comparative, account of sales (in `) of various fruits over a two-day period. How is Fig 15.2 different, from Fig 15.1? Discuss with your friends., 2021–22

232, , MATHEMATICS, , Fig 15.2, , 15.1.2 A Pie graph (or a circle-graph), A pie-graph is used to compare parts of a whole. The circle represents the whole. Fig 15.3, is a pie-graph. It shows the percentage of viewers watching different types of TV channels., , Fig 15.3, , 15.1.3 A histogram, A Histogram is a bar graph that shows data in intervals. It has adjacent bars over, the intervals., 2021–22

Page 3 :
INTRODUCTION, , TO, , GRAPHS, , 233, , The histogram in Fig 15.4 illustrates the distribution of weights (in kg) of 40 persons of, a locality., Weights (kg), , 40-45, , 45-50, , 50-55, , 55-60, , 60-65, , 4, , 12, , 13, , 6, , 5, , No. of persons, , In Fig 15.4 a jagged line, (, , ) has been used along, horizontal line to indicate, that we are not showing, numbers between 0 and 40., , Fig 15.4, , There are no gaps between bars, because there are no gaps between the intervals., What is the information that you gather from this histogram? Try to list them out., 15.1.4 A line graph, A line graph displays data that changes continuously over periods of time., When Renu fell sick, her doctor maintained a record of her body temperature, taken, every four hours. It was in the form of a graph (shown in Fig 15.5 and Fig 15.6)., We may call this a “time-temperature graph”., It is a pictorial representation of the following data, given in tabular form., Time, Temperature(°C), , 6 a.m., , 10 a.m., , 2 p.m., , 6 p.m., , 37, , 40, , 38, , 35, , The horizontal line (usually called the x-axis) shows the timings at which the temperatures, were recorded. What are labelled on the vertical line (usually called the y-axis)?, 2021–22

Page 4 :
234, , MATHEMATICS, , Fig 15.5, Each piece of data is shown, by a point on the square grid., , Fig 15.6, The points are then connected by line, segments. The result is the line graph., , What all does this graph tell you? For example you can see the pattern of temperature;, more at 10 a.m. (see Fig 15.5) and then decreasing till 6 p.m. Notice that the temperature, increased by 3° C(= 40° C – 37° C) during the period 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., There was no recording of temperature at 8 a.m., however the graph suggests that it, was more than 37 °C (How?)., Example 1: (A graph on “performance”), The given graph (Fig 15.7) represents the total runs scored by two batsmen A and B,, during each of the ten different matches in the year 2007. Study the graph and answer the, following questions., (i) What information is given on the two axes?, (ii) Which line shows the runs scored by batsman A?, (iii) Were the run scored by them same in any match in 2007? If so, in which match?, (iii) Among the two batsmen, who is steadier? How do you judge it?, Solution:, (i) The horizontal axis (or the x-axis) indicates the matches played during the year, 2007. The vertical axis (or the y-axis) shows the total runs scored in each match., (ii) The dotted line shows the runs scored by Batsman A. (This is already indicated at, the top of the graph)., 2021–22

Page 5 :
INTRODUCTION, , (iii) During the 4th match, both have scored the same, number of 60 runs. (This is indicated by the point, at which both graphs meet)., (iv) Batsman A has one great “peak” but many deep, “valleys”. He does not appear to be consistent., B, on the other hand has never scored below a, total of 40 runs, even though his highest score is, only 100 in comparison to 115 of A. Also A has, scored a zero in two matches and in a total of 5, matches he has scored less than 40 runs. Since A, has a lot of ups and downs, B is a more consistent, and reliable batsman., Example 2: The given graph (Fig 15.8) describes, the distances of a car from a city P at different times, when it is travelling from City P to City Q, which are, 350 km apart. Study the graph and answer the following:, (i) What information is given on the two axes?, (ii) From where and when did the car begin its, journey?, (iii) How far did the car go in the first hour?, (iv) How far did the car go during (i) the 2nd hour? (ii) the 3rd hour?, (v) Was the speed same during the first three hours? How do you know it?, (vi) Did the car stop for some duration at any place? Justify your answer., (vii) When did the car reach City Q?, , Fig 15.8, 2021–22, , TO, , Fig 15.7, , GRAPHS, , 235

Page 6 :
236, , MATHEMATICS, , Solution:, (i) The horizontal (x) axis shows the time. The vertical (y) axis shows the distance of the, car from City P., (ii) The car started from City P at 8 a.m., (iii) The car travelled 50 km during the first hour. [This can be seen as follows., At 8 a.m. it just started from City P. At 9 a.m. it was at the 50th km (seen from graph)., Hence during the one-hour time between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. the car travelled 50 km]., (iv) The distance covered by the car during, (a) the 2nd hour (i.e., from 9 am to 10 am) is 100 km, (150 – 50)., (b) the 3rd hour (i.e., from 10 am to 11 am) is 50 km (200 – 150)., (v) From the answers to questions (iii) and (iv), we find that the speed of the car was not, the same all the time. (In fact the graph illustrates how the speed varied)., (vi) We find that the car was 200 km away from city P when the time was 11 a.m. and, also at 12 noon. This shows that the car did not travel during the interval 11 a.m. to, 12 noon. The horizontal line segment representing “travel” during this period is, illustrative of this fact., (vii) The car reached City Q at 2 p.m., , EXERCISE 15.1, 1. The following graph shows the temperature of a patient in a hospital, recorded, every hour., (a) What was the patient’s temperature at 1 p.m. ?, (b) When was the patient’s temperature 38.5° C?, , 2021–22

How did you arrive at your answer?, (e) During which periods did the patients’ temperature showed an upward trend?, 2. The following line graph shows the yearly sales figures for a manufacturing company., (a) What were the sales in (i) 2002 (ii) 2006?, (b) What were the sales in (i) 2003 (ii) 2005?, (c) Compute the difference between the sales in 2002 and 2006., (d) In which year was there the greatest difference between the sales as compared, to its previous year?, , 3. For an experiment in Botany, two different plants, plant A and plant B were grown, under similar laboratory conditions. Their heights were measured at the end of each, week for 3 weeks. The results are shown by the following graph., , 2021–22, , GRAPHS, , 237

240, , MATHEMATICS, , 15.2 Linear Graphs, A line graph consists of bits of line segments, joined consecutively. Sometimes the graph may, be a whole unbroken line. Such a graph is called, a linear graph. To draw such a line we need to, locate some points on the graph sheet. We will, now learn how to locate points conveniently on, a graph sheet., 15.2.1 Location of a point, The teacher put a dot on the black-board. She asked the, students how they would describe its location. There were, several responses (Fig 15. 9)., , The dot is, in the upper, half of the, board, , The dot is, near the left, edge of the, board, , The dot is, very close to, the left, upper corner, of board, , Fig 15.9, , Can any one of these statements help fix the position of the dot? No! Why not?, Think about it., John then gave a suggestion. He measured the distance of the dot from the left edge of, the board and said, “The dot is 90 cm from the left edge of the board”. Do you think, John’s suggestion is really helpful? (Fig 15.10), , Fig 15.10, A, A1, A2, A3 are all 90 cm away, from the left edge., 2021–22, , Fig 15.11, A is 90 cm from left edge and, 160 cm from the bottom edge.

Page 11 :
INTRODUCTION, , TO, , GRAPHS, , 241, , Rekha then came up with a modified statement : “The dot is 90 cm from the left edge, and 160 cm from the bottom edge”. That solved the problem completely! (Fig 15.11) The, teacher said, “We describe the position of this dot by writing it as (90, 160)”. Will the point, (160, 90) be different from (90, 160)? Think about it., The 17th century mathematician Rene Descartes, it is said, noticed the movement, of an insect near a corner of the ceiling and began to think of determining the, position of a given point in a plane. His system of fixing a point with the help of, two measurements, vertical and horizontal, came to be known as Cartesian system,, in his honour., Rene Descartes, (1596-1650), , 15.2.2 Coordinates, Suppose you go to an auditorium and, search for your reserved seat. You need to, know two numbers, the row number and, the seat number. This is the basic method, for fixing a point in a plane., Observe in Fig 15.12 how the point, (3, 4) which is 3 units from left edge and 4, units from bottom edge is plotted on a graph, sheet. The graph sheet itself is a square grid., We draw the x and y axes conveniently and, then fix the required point. 3 is called the, x-coordinate of the point; 4 is the, y-coordinate of the point. We say that the, coordinates of the point are (3, 4)., Example 3: Plot the point (4, 3) on a graph, sheet. Is it the same as the point (3, 4)?, , Fig 15.12, , Solution: Locate the x, y axes, (they are, actually number lines!). Start at O (0, 0)., Move 4 units to the right; then move 3 units, up, you reach the point (4, 3). From, Fig 15.13, you can see that the points (3, 4), and (4, 3) are two different points., Example 4: From Fig 15.14, choose the, letter(s) that indicate the location of the points, given below:, (i) (2, 1), , Fig 15.13, , (ii) (0, 5), (iii) (2, 0), Also write, (iv) The coordinates of A., (v) The coordinates of F., , Fig 15.14, 2021–22

Page 12 :
242, , MATHEMATICS, , Solution:, (i) (2, 1) is the point E (It is not D!)., (ii) (0, 5) is the point B (why? Discuss with your friends!). (iii) (2, 0) is the point G., (iv) Point A is (4, 5), (v) F is (5.5, 0), Example 5: Plot the following points and verify if they lie on a line. If they lie on a line,, name it., (i) (0, 2), (0, 5), (0, 6), (0, 3.5), (ii) A (1, 1), B (1, 2), C (1, 3), D (1, 4), (iii) K (1, 3), L (2, 3), M (3, 3), N (4, 3), (iv) W (2, 6), X (3, 5), Y (5, 3), Z (6, 2), Solution:, , (i), , (ii), , These lie on a line., The line is y-axis., , These lie on a line. The line is AD., (You may also use other ways, of naming it). It is parallel to the y-axis, , (iii), , Fig 15.15, , These lie on a line. We can name it as KL, or KM or MN etc. It is parallel to x-axis, , (iv), These lie on a line. We can name, it as XY or WY or YZ etc., , Note that in each of the above cases, graph obtained by joining the plotted points is a, line. Such graphs are called linear graphs., 2021–22

INTRODUCTION, , TO, , EXERCISE 15.2, 1. Plot the following points on a graph sheet. Verify if they lie on a line, (a) A(4, 0), B(4, 2), C(4, 6), D(4, 2.5), (b) P(1, 1), Q(2, 2), R(3, 3), S(4, 4), (c) K(2, 3), L(5, 3), M(5, 5), N(2, 5), 2. Draw the line passing through (2, 3) and (3, 2). Find the coordinates of the points at, which this line meets the x-axis and y-axis., 3. Write the coordinates of the vertices, of each of these adjoining figures., 4. State whether True or False. Correct, that are false., (i) A point whose x coordinate is zero, and y-coordinate is non-zero will, lie on the y-axis., (ii) A point whose y coordinate is zero, and x-coordinate is 5 will lie on, y-axis., (iii) The coordinates of the origin, are (0, 0)., , 15.3 Some Applications, In everyday life, you might have observed that the more you use a facility, the more you, pay for it. If more electricity is consumed, the bill is bound to be high. If less electricity is, used, then the bill will be easily manageable. This is an instance where one quantity affects, another. Amount of electric bill depends on the quantity of electricity used. We say that the, quantity of electricity is an independent variable (or sometimes control variable) and, the amount of electric bill is the dependent variable. The relation between such variables, can be shown through a graph., , THINK, DISCUSS AND WRITE, The number of litres of petrol you buy to fill a car’s petrol tank will decide the amount, you have to pay. Which is the independent variable here? Think about it., Example 6: (Quantity and Cost), The following table gives the quantity of petrol and its cost., No. of Litres of petrol, , 10, , 15, , 20, , 25, , Cost of petrol in `, , 500, , 750, , 1000, , 1250, , Plot a graph to show the data., 2021–22, , GRAPHS, , 243

MATHEMATICS, , Solution: (i) Let us take a suitable scale on both the axes (Fig 15.16)., , Cost (in `), , 244, , Fig 15.16, , (ii) Mark number of litres along the horizontal axis., (iii) Mark cost of petrol along the vertical axis., (iv) Plot the points: (10,500), (15,750), (20,1000), (25,1250)., (v) Join the points., We find that the graph is a line. (It is a linear graph). Why does this graph pass through, the origin? Think about it., This graph can help us to estimate a few things. Suppose we want to find the amount, needed to buy 12 litres of petrol. Locate 12 on the horizontal axis., Follow the vertical line through 12 till you meet the graph at P (say)., From P you take a horizontal line to meet the vertical axis. This meeting point provides, the answer., This is the graph of a situation in which two quantities, are in direct variation. (How ?)., In such situations, the graphs will always be linear., , TRY THESE, In the above example, use the graph to find how much petrol can be purchased, for ` 800., 2021–22
