title: Best type of graph to show a relationship between a dependent variable that is continuous and an independent variable that is categorical?
body: <p>I am looking for a type of graph to show the relationship between a dependent variable (Number of Likes) and an Independent variable (Genre of Video)</p>
  <p>my data looks something like this:</p>
  <div class="s-table-container">
  <table class="s-table">
  <thead>
  <tr>
  <th>Genre_of_Video</th>
  <th>Number_Likes</th>
  </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
  <tr>
  <td>Comedy</td>
  <td>500</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>Comedy</td>
  <td>240</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>Comedy</td>
  <td>250</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>Romance</td>
  <td>120</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>Thriller</td>
  <td>568</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>Emotional</td>
  <td>320</td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
  </table>
  </div>
  <p>My data is quite big and there is more than 2 categories in the dependent variable.
  I tried to create a linear regression graph using this:</p>
  <pre><code>ggplot(youtubevideos, aes(x= Genre_of_Video, y = Number_Likes)) + geom_point()
  </code></pre>
  <p>but it just shows straight lines. What type of graph should I then use to show the relationship?</p>
