How can line graphs be used to illustrate trends over time?

Line graphs are particularly useful for illustrating trends over time. They allow for the visual comparison of growth rates of different categories, such as multiple product lines or market segments, across several quarters or years. By plotting these categories with distinct colors, trends such as a product's peak sales period or a downturn in a particular market segment can be quickly identified.
