A very informal title, the term zigzag graph is descriptive (...) It is also commonly known as a slope-curve chart (...) A simple zigzag [or sawtooth] curve is made by drawing a line directly from each plotted point to the next. This curve suggests that changes from point to point are gradual or continuous and it is usually the best way to show that data have "carryover" from one time to the next. 1, record 1, English, - zigzag%20graph
