Step-by-step explanation:

Graphics are visual aids that help to drive our understanding of an informational text. It has often been said that "a picture is more than a thousand words," and so they (graphics) help to explain complex things in simple ways using little words.

For example, the total number of students at a school for the last three years if shown graphically using charts would make it easier to see whether there has been an increase or decrease.
