Front

What does a line that is increasing on a graph indicate about the object's speed?

Back

It indicates that the object's speed is increasing over that time interval.

Front

How can you determine if an object is speeding up from a graph?

Back

If the slope of the line on the graph is positive, the object is speeding up.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a speed-time graph represent?

Back
