In work with physical systems, the relationship of one physical quantity to another is frequent of interest. For instance, the power level of a nuclear reactor can be measured at any given time. Therefore, this power level changes with time and is frequent monitored.  One method of associating one physical quantity to another is to tabulate measurements. Therefore, the power level of a nuclear reactor at specific times can be recorded in a log book. While this method does give information on the relationship among power level and time, it is a hard method to use effectively. In exacting, trends or changes are hard to visualize.  Graphs frequent overcome this drawback.  For this purpose, graphs are widely used.
