What is a line chart?
A line chart shows a trend over time — revenue, users, a KPI across periods. Google Slides draws a basic line, but the point labels, clean axis and CAGR annotation that make a trend slide read at a glance aren't there.
When to use it
- Any metric over time: revenue, ARR, users, margin.
- Showing a trend, an inflection or a trajectory.
- When the shape of the movement is the message.
