The distance in miles a car travels over time in minutes is shown in the table. Distance (miles) Time (minutes) 10 15 20 30 30 45 40 60 Kwame is not sure whether to use a line graph or a line plot to display the data. Which best explains which graph is a better representation of the data?

A line graph is best because the data show how distance changes as time passes. The graph can connect the points (15, 10), (30, 20), (45, 30), and (60, 40) to show the car’s distance increasing over time. A line plot is mainly used to show the distribution of individual values, not how one quantity changes with another.
