Common mistake
Misinterpreting Graph Scale
Students often assume that the scale on a line graph is linear when it is actually logarithmic, leading to incorrect estimates of change.
Check the axis labels and any notes on the graph to confirm whether the scale is linear or logarithmic before drawing conclusions about rates of change or proportional relationships.
