Question

Explain why the graph is misleading.







(i will post the attachment below)

Answer 1

It doesnt have the title

Answer 2

it is not proportional since it starts with 6 as the lowest value

Answer 3

Yeah, I mean... it would be nice if it had a title and labeled axis, but that's probably not what the problem is trying to get it. Notice the scale for the x axis and the little "squiggle" at the start of it. It's because the axis doesn't start at 0.
