How do we use spreadsheets to create graphs?

Today in math class we learned to use spreadsheets to display data. On our lab tops we created line graphs, bar graphs, circle graph. We created the graphs and write a respond to some questions. First, we used Microsoft Excel to create the graphs, and inserted a chart. Then, we write out the information and created the graph with the information. Finally, I write with graph would appropriate.

I had to figure out between a bar graph and a circle graph. The bar graph displays the student council budget better. The reason is because the bar graph shows the amount and compares how much the student council budget was spent on each. The reason the circle graph does not display the data better is because a circle graph shows a set by dividing it and the graph didn't give amounts.
The appropriate graph between a line graph , and a bar graph. The appropriate graph that displayed the data of the student council budget better is a bar graph because a line graph shows the frequency of values over time. The bar graph displays and compares the data.
