Use the following line graph to answer the question:
How many enrollments were there in January?
Tap to reveal answer
Let's look at the line graph.
We can see the bottom axis displays the individual months. We can see the scale on the left displaying the number of enrollments.
So, to find the number of enrollments in January, we will first locate January on the bottom axis. We can see that it is the first one listed.
Now, we will see which number it corresponds with. We can see that it lines up with 10.
Therefore, the number of enrollments in January is 10.

Approximately, how many 12th grade enrollments were there in 2013?
Use the following line graph to answer the question:
Approximately, how many 12th grade enrollments were there in 2013?
Tap to reveal answer
Let's look at the graph:
If we look at the year 2013, we can see the data point is between 120 and 140.
We can also see that it is much closer to 140 than it is to 120.
From looking at the location of the data point, we can approximate that there were 136 12th grade enrollments in 2013.
