Analyzing Graphs

Front

What does a graph showing increasing distance from a starting point indicate about the rate of movement?

Back

The distance is changing at an increasing rate.

Front

List the types of intervals that can be represented in a graph.

Back

Increasing, constant, decreasing, constant.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a decreasing trend over time?

Back

It indicates that the total number of grams or quantity is decreasing at a decreasing rate.

Front

In a graph representing a hiker's descent, how can you identify the section where the descent is the quickest?

Back

Look for the steepest slope on the graph.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a graph represent?

Back

It represents time passing with no change in position.

Front

How can you determine if a graph is showing a constant rate of change?

Back

The graph will appear as a straight line with a consistent slope.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a distance-time graph?

Back

The slope represents the speed or rate of movement.

Front

What does a steep slope indicate in a graph?

Back

A steep slope indicates a rapid change in distance over time.

Front

How can you identify a decreasing interval on a graph?

Back

A decreasing interval is shown by a downward slope.

Front

What does it mean if a graph has both increasing and decreasing intervals?

Back

It indicates that the quantity is changing in both directions over time.
