7-5-2 Interpreting Graphs

Front

What does a graph represent in the context of time vs distance?

Back

A graph can represent the relationship between time and distance traveled, showing how far an object moves over a period of time.

Front

What does point B represent in a graph of a walk?

Back

Point B represents the moment when Matthew was walking the fastest during his walk with the dogs.

Front

What does point E indicate in a walking graph?

Back

Point E indicates that Matthew is coming back to the house.

Front

What does a steady pace look like on a graph?

Back

A steady pace is represented by a straight line on a graph, indicating consistent speed over time.

Front

What does it mean if a graph shows a horizontal line?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is standing still, as there is no change in distance over time.

Front

How can we determine the fastest speed on a graph?

Back

The fastest speed is indicated by the steepest slope on the graph, showing the greatest change in distance over time.

Front

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

Back

The slope of the graph represents speed; a steeper slope indicates a faster speed.

Front

Can we use graphs to represent time vs distance traveled?

Back

Yes, graphs can effectively represent the relationship between time and distance traveled.

Front

What does a downward slope indicate on a distance vs time graph?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to the starting point or moving backward.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the shortest distance from the starting point to the endpoint.
