Analyzing Graphs

Front

What are the types of intervals that a graph can demonstrate?

Back

Increasing, constant, decreasing.

Front

Define an increasing interval on a graph.

Back

An interval where the y-values increase as the x-values increase.

Front

Define a constant interval on a graph.

Back

An interval where the y-values remain the same as the x-values change.

Front

Define a decreasing interval on a graph.

Back

An interval where the y-values decrease as the x-values increase.

Front

What does it mean when a graph is linear?

Back

The graph forms a straight line, indicating a constant rate of change.

Front

What does it mean when a graph is nonlinear?

Back

The graph does not form a straight line, indicating a variable rate of change.

Front

How can you identify a constant interval on a graph?

Back

Look for horizontal segments where the y-value does not change.

Front

What does it indicate if a graph shows a steep slope?

Back

It indicates a rapid change in y-values with respect to x-values.

Front

What does it mean if a graph is flat?

Back

It indicates that there is no change in y-values over that interval.

Front

How can you determine the distance from home in a distance-time graph?

Back

By observing the y-values at different x-values.
