Hi Khan Academy,
I was going through the "Reading Line Charts 1" exercise and noticed that the discrete points were connected with continuous lines, even though there is no meaning to the values between the discrete points.
For example, if someone is tracking the number of shoes of a particular colour they see on a day of the week, any value between the discrete days of the week or whole numbers of shoes doesn't have a meaning.
However, in the graphs offered with the questions all of the points are connected with continuous lines, implying that there are values that exist between, say, Tuesday and Wednesday and 2 shoes and 10 shoes.
If you want to show graphs where points are connected, temperatures during the day or a season would be more appropriate.
Thanks for a great set of exercises!
