What are Bar graphs?


Bar Graph:

A bar graph consists of several bars of uniform width. These bars are drawn horizontally or vertically with equal spacing between them. The length of each bar represents a specific number.

  • Draw two line: one horizontal and one vertical.

  • On the vertical line, mark the numbers using a scale.
  • Now, draw bars of uniform width to show how many students like which flavor. 

The bar graph will look like:
