Best answer

Graph (simple line graph): Title: Brazil – Percentage of Urban Population (1960 to 2010). X-axis: years at equal intervals; Y-axis: percentage of urban population. Scale: Y-axis 1 cm = 10%. Plot the points and join them with a line:

YearUrban population (%)Height of point
196047.14.71 cm
197056.85.68 cm
198066.06.6 cm
199074.67.46 cm
200081.58.15 cm
201084.68.46 cm

Write the title, scale and labels of both axes on the graph.

(Note: a picture of the graph cannot be shown here; in the examination the graph itself must be drawn on graph paper as described above.)

Answers:

(i) The interval of the data is 10 years.

(ii) The increase from 2000 to 2010 was 84.6 − 81.5 = 3.1%.

(iii) 1960 shows the least urbanisation (47.1%).
