Intervals of increasing/decreasing

Front

What does a 0 slope indicate in the context of a distance vs. time graph?

Back

A 0 slope indicates that the object is not moving; in this context, it means Oliver is taking a break from hiking.

What does a positive slope indicate in the context of a distance vs. time graph?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point; in this context, it means Oliver is hiking up the mountain.

How can you determine the number of high tides from a depth vs. time graph?

Back

Count the number of peaks in the graph; each peak represents a high tide.

Front

What does an increasing segment in a graph indicate about the situation being represented?

Back

An increasing segment indicates that the quantity being measured is growing; for example, attendance at a park is increasing.

Front

What is the relationship between the steepness of a slope and the speed of movement?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a faster rate of change, meaning the object is moving more quickly.
