The word \u2018linear\u2019 means straight. <strong>Linear graphs<\/strong> are straight line graphs to represent the relationship between two quantities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">This graph helps in depicting a result in single straight lines. There is no use of curves, dots, bars, etc., and a straight line is denoted by the term linear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Let\u2019s represent the given example in the form of a data
