7-5-2 PLUS Interpreting Graphs

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 quadrant is the point (-2, 1) located in?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

Describe Sophia’s distance from home when she forgot her phone.

Back

Sophia starts driving home, realizes she forgot her phone at work, drives back to work, goes in to get her phone, and then drives home.

Front

What does it mean when a person drives at a constant speed?

Back

It means the person is maintaining the same speed without accelerating or decelerating.

Front

What is the purpose of a distance-time graph?

Back

A distance-time graph shows how distance changes over time, helping to visualize speed and motion.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is stationary and not moving.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed, meaning the object is covering a large distance in a short amount of time.

Front

What does a negative slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

What is the significance of the origin (0,0) on a graph?

Back

The origin represents the starting point of the graph, where both distance and time are zero.

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object from a distance-time graph?

Back

Speed can be determined by calculating the slope of the line on the graph.
