Reply To: line graphs v. Cartesian graphs

I have asked this question myself numerous times and wish there was a better explanation that I could give you. What we have come up with in our office as an indication is that Cartesian graphs use the four quadrants divided by the x- and y-asis. Often you have plotted points on such a graph, but it could also display a line graph. Hope this helps.

P.S. Please also note the information included in an earlier post entitled "Labeling numbers on cartesian grid".
