A. Given monthly temperature values for an unspecified location, construct a two variable line
graph for this location using Figure A-1. The X axis (horizontal axis) represents time - the
twelve months of the year. The Y axis (vertical axis, left side of the graph) measures
temperatures in degrees Celsius. Place a dot for the appropriate temperature (T ºC) for
each month centered in the column of the appropriate month, then connect the dots to
form the line graph.

Now answer the following questions (remember to use the units of measure where appropriate):
1. What is the temperature range (high minus low) for this location?
_________________
2. Which three months are the warmest?
_________________
3. From the information on this graph, do you believe this location is situated in the northern or
southern hemisphere? _______________________. How does the line graph support this
fact? _______________________________________________________________________
4. From the information on this graph, do you believe that this location is situated in the tropics,
mid-latitudes or polar regions? ________________. How does the line graph support this
fact? _______________________________________________________________________
