Graphing Stories

Front

What is graphing stories?

Back

Graphing stories is a method of representing real-life situations or narratives using graphs, where the x-axis typically represents time and the y-axis represents another variable, such as distance or speed.

How do you determine the slope of a line on a graph?

Back

The slope is determined by the change in the Y value divided by the change in the X value (rise/run).

What does a horizontal line on a graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that there is no change in the Y value over time; the variable remains constant.

Front

What does a vertical line on a graph indicate?

Back

A vertical line indicates an undefined slope, often representing an instantaneous change in the variable.

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

Back

The origin point represents the starting point of the graph, where both the X and Y values are zero.

How can you interpret a steep slope on a graph?

Back

A steep slope indicates a rapid change in the Y variable with respect to the X variable, suggesting a high rate of speed or change.

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

Back

A decreasing line indicates that the Y variable is decreasing over time, suggesting a loss or reduction in the measured quantity.
