What is a graphing story?

Back

A graphing story is a visual representation of a situation or event that shows how one quantity changes in relation to another over time.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a distance-time graph?

Back

The y-axis represents the distance traveled by an object.

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a distance-time graph?

Back

The x-axis represents time.

Front

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

Back

The speed can be determined by calculating the slope of the line on the graph; a steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

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 an increasing line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

An increasing line indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point, showing positive distance over time.

Front

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

Back

A decreasing line indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point, showing negative distance over time.

Front

How do you find the total distance traveled from a distance-time graph?

Back

The total distance traveled can be found by looking at the change in distance on the y-axis over the time interval on the x-axis.

Front

What does it mean if the distance remains the same over time on a graph?

Back

It means the object is not moving; it is stationary.

Front

How can you tell if an object is accelerating from a distance-time graph?

Back

If the slope of the line is increasing, the object is accelerating.
