Hi rammiy,

Line graphs are used to track changes over short and long periods of time.  When smaller changes exist, line graphs are better to use than bar graphs.  Line graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group.

Pie charts are best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole.  They do not show changes over time.

I suppose which type of graph to use depends on the personal habits and the source data.

Please refer to this video to get more information about how to select the right chart type:

Hope it's helpful.
