| Aug 6, 2017 at 17:28 | comment | added | Celestial Walker | Thank you @Mari-Lou A, i want you to know that your edit and answer are really appreciated by me. However, IELTS writing task 1 requires us not to simply report the graph but to compare it. That's why i was really keen on contradicting the 2 genders' figures. | |

clarified, corrected capitalisation of the pronoun I, and improved formatting

| Aug 6, 2017 at 12:41 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | If you want to describe the gentle rise and fall of a "line graph" then you could say that it gradually peaks at..... and then there is a subtle decline thereafter. Knowing the academic name for this type of slope doesn't tell your readers anything about the hard data, you should say WHICH age group, and WHICH sex did the most physical exercise in the study conducted. Otherwise it's a very good question :) | |

| Aug 5, 2017 at 13:54 | comment | added | Dan Bron | They're both parabolas; they're more common of architectural arches than brides. Actual suspension bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge, have a different curve, known as a a catenary. | |
| Aug 5, 2017 at 13:50 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | 'Inverted U-shaped curve'. 'Concave up' etc are also commonly used, but apply to parts of graphs. See mathsfirst.massey.ac.nz. | |
| Aug 5, 2017 at 13:35 | comment | added | Celestial Walker | @Edwin Ashworth Thank you Edwin, could you tell me what's the name of the other curve? Is it upside down U shaped curve? and can those "concave up/down curves" be used in formal writing? Thank you very much | |

| Aug 5, 2017 at 12:53 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | 'U-shaped curve' is standard, but reasonably similar-shaped (in the everyday sense) graphs may be said to 'resemble a parabola etc'. But this is better asked on Mathematics SE. | |
