The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Graphs can be used to describe, predict, compare or infer information in the following. When you use a graph, you have a graphic description of information that uses numbers, percentages, and concepts that indicate a tendency of what has happened in the past. This way, analyzing what has happened, you can make projections regarding that tendency. This way you could anticipate some scenarios and this will be helpful to make better decisions in the now moment.

Answer:

Graphs show a pattern in something that we are following. So by using those patterns on the graphs, we can see how the process that we are following is changing and we can conclude that without anything drastic happening the process will continue with the same pattern.

An example would be a pattern in weight loss. If a graph shows that a person is losing weight 1 pound per week we can conclude that the next week the person will have 1 pound less. This will only change if the person starts eating more which would be a drastic change to the pattern.
