What is a pictograph?

A graph representing numbers with symbols
A type of bar chart
A line graph
A pie chart

The correct answer is: A graph representing numbers with symbols

A pictograph is a visual representation of data where symbols or images are used to represent quantities. This type of graph helps convey information in a way that is immediately understandable, as each symbol corresponds to a specific number of items. For example, one picture of an apple might represent five apples in total. Pictographs are particularly useful for younger audiences or for presenting data in a more engaging format. In contrast, the other options describe different types of graphs that use various methods to present data, but they do not utilize images to represent quantities in the same direct and visual manner as a pictograph does. A bar chart displays data with rectangular bars, a line graph uses points connected by lines to show trends over time, and a pie chart divides a circle into slices to represent percentages of a whole. Each serves a specific purpose, but they lack the symbolic representation characteristic of pictographs.
